   Well, there's a nifty "clockwise" algorithm for determining if a planar
surface is facing the camera.  

 
   I would *STRONGLY* recommend "Computer Graphics: Princiles and Practice"
from the Systems Programming Series, by Foley, van Dam, Feiner, and Hughes
(Addison Wesley)

   It's a 1200 page book that is, IMHO, the bible of graphics.
 
  Good luck
