Abstract

The article describes the use of Archicad and Unreal Engine software products in extracurricular classes on creating interactive three-dimensional models of buildings and adjacent territories with students of 7-10 grades of the Regional Center of Education (RCE) of Novosibirsk. The result of the course is an individual project implemented in the form of an application that allows taking a virtual walk through the created models of buildings with the possibility of interaction with objects. The article describes the results obtained by students when attending extracurricular classes, describes the peculiarities of the perception of educational material, and presents work tasks that caused the greatest difficulties in solving them. In general, the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by students can further strengthen their interest to three-dimensional modeling, as well as in the development of interactive applications and games.
