Lecture 9: Ray Tracing (19)

Note that if a plane has equation ax + by + cz + d = 0, then the plane's normal vector is <a,b,c>. You can rewrite the equation into the form <a,b,c> * (<x,y,z> - <x0,y0,z0>) = 0.

To add to this^, we may have to compute the normal vector by taking the cross product of two arbitrary vectors on the plane (using 3 of the vertices) just like we did in project 2.
