THE FEATURES OF TEACHING 3D MODELING DURING PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE COMPUTER SCIENCES TEACHERS

Abstract

The professional training of future informatics teachers should contain different components. One of the important components of the informatics teacher training process is the students' study of computer graphic programs which helps to create high-quality graphics content. Also, 3D programs allow creating digital images, and they are also used in 3D printing technologies. Therefore, the future teachers of computer science should understand the process of creating 3D models via special computer applications. The purpose of the article is to describe the specifics of the teaching of three-dimensional computer graphics and modeling during a process of training future teachers of computer science. The main tasks of the article are a description of the issues of teaching 3D computer graphics during training future teachers of computer science and a disclosure of the features of the teaching of 3D modeling on the example of software graphics complex Blender 3D. Methods used: analysis of scientific literature. In general, the article describes the causes of problems in the teaching of 3D modeling. The main problems of the training of three-dimensional graphics are the lack of the required number of specialized computers in higher pedagogical schools and teaching materials on this subject. Also, the author reveals the features of teaching 3D graphics on examples of such topics as the modeling of three-dimensional objects, the creation of materials and textures for them, the render of spatial scenes. He represents the main topics of the course based on the example of the Blender 3D program. In conclusion, the author offers further research directions on this topic.
