If you want to work with 3D Graphics, I think it's a good idea
to learn either Direct3D or OpenGL.
You can have many kinds of textures. RGB and RGBA are probably
the most widely used ones. It means 24 and 32 bits per texel.
I can't really understand the last sentence. Perhaps it makes sence
but try to say it in a better way, please.
