Please refer to the website http://www.sanatansociety.org/hindu_gods_and_goddesses/shiva.htm
where Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma are all mentioned as separate gods.
I am not by any means an expert on Hinduism, but Shiva is mentioned as having different faces, but not as being encarnations of the other two Gods mentioned here, and Vishnu, I believe has 8 incarnations. There also a Kali, goddess of time and death, among others.

Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu are all separate like the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost are different, but still one. The "Hindu" Trinity is much like the Christian Trinity.

There is one underlying reality that is Brahman. One reality that is God and God alone.
