The number of possibilities for each outcome are shown below:

Two1
Three2
Four3
Five4
Six5
Seven6
Eight5
Nine4
Ten3
Eleven2
Twelve1

These results graph as if they're triangular, but when I do the same for 3 6-sided dice...

Three1
Four3
Five6
Six10
Seven15
Eight21
Nine25
Ten27
Eleven27
Twelve25
Thirteen21
Fourteen15
Fifteen10
Sixteen6
Seventeen3
Eighteen1

...it's definitely a bell curve. Are two dice just not enough "resolution" to show a curve with curves?
