Is this code correct or logically sound?
You need to be exact on what 'correct' is. The comment above `triangleFacesCamera` says:
Indicates wether a triangle faces an imaginary view point.
There's no view point / camera position defined anywhere in your code. Instead, all it's doing is comparing the angle of one triangle side (A->B) with another (B->C) in the XZ plane. This suggests you want to know the triangle winding order: clockwise or counter clockwise.
If you search for "triangle winding order" you'll find simple and correct ways to do that. Your code needlessly computes angles, only considers the XZ plane, and doesn't compare the angles correctly.
r2 -= r1; return r2 > 0;
You need to wrap (r2 - r1) into [-τ/2, τ/2] range, then you can compare with 0.
