Try this. The Table[] creates ten triangles at random heights z (and the
postfix [[{4,5}]] discards the x,y, and z values) that are drawn using
Polygon[]. Each triangle is preceded by a specification of graylevel.
Then Show[Graphics3D[ ]]  shows them all in a 1x1x1 box.

coords = Table[{x = Random[], y = Random[], z = Random[], GrayLevel[z],
        Polygon[{{x, y, z}, {x + .2, y, z}, {x + .1, y + .2, z}}]}[[{4,
        5}]], {i, 1, 10}];
Show[Graphics3D[coords], Lighting -> False,
  PlotRange -> {{0, 1.2}, {0, 1.2}, {0, 1}}];
