        //05.-Applies vertex shader per vertex
        //06.-Performs clipping of triangles outside frustrum
        //07.-Applies perspective divide
        //08.-Sends to triangle rasterizer
        //09.-NDC -> viewport transform
        //10.-Iterates through triangle bounding box 
        //11.-Calculates barycentric coordinates
        //12.-Culls pixels outside of triangle or screen
        //13.-Runs fragment shader
        //14.-zBuffer update
        //15.-Writes to frame buffer
        //16.-Swap buffer
