Not only do we have to deal with a full three dimensional coordinate system and all of the math that goes with it, but we have to worry a lot more about the state of the graphics context. Far, far more than the basic colors and transforms of the 2D context. In 2D we draw shapes with paths then fill them with fill styles. First, we have shapes in the form of geometry, lists of points in 3D space called "vectors". Shaders take the camera, light, normals, and geometry as inputs to draw the actual pixels.
