I use this function to fill a grid with textured triangles

Function DrawTexTri( GLTexture:Int, x0:Float , y0:Float , x1:Float , y1:Float , x2:Float , y2:Float)
	
	glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,glTexture)
	glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)

	glBegin GL_TRIANGLES
		glTexCoord2f 0.0 , 0.0
		glVertex2f x0 , y0
		glTexCoord2f 1.0 , 0.0
		glVertex2f x1 , y1		
		glTexCoord2f 1.0 , 1.0
		glVertex2f x2 , y2	
	glEnd
	
End Function

nice...
Since I want it to represent a landscape, I want to add lighting and shadows.
Now, what would minimal be needed to achieve that?
Would it require something like minib3d, or can it be done with less overhead?
[EDIT]
My goal is an orthogonal view of an Hexagonal grid (made from 6 Triangles)
My attempts in Blitz3D were quite hopeless; because of difficulties in transfering 3D and 2D locations, but mainly because I suck in 3D.
So I tried it like this; A Grid in 2d and Filling the Triangles with DrawTexTri().(at least now I know every location of the grid in 2d...)
In case this approach is futile, I would be thankful if someone knows
a way this can be done.
