Are the resulting triangles called meshes? Also, what are some popular subdivision methods in industry nowadays?

Were there any other shapes that were considered as approximators before the triangle? How was this discovered?

I used to see 3D models described by triangles but didn't know why. This slide really helps me to understand.

If the three points end up being colinear (and thus do not define a plane), does that "mess up" and calculations we might want to do?

It's interesting that in 3D modeling, triangles in the mesh topology are bad. You want the entire wireframe to be in quads. It makes sense now that they are reduced to triangles.
