Features of three-dimensional modeling of architecture in Autodesk 3Ds Max (on the example of an individual residential building)

The article describes the trends in the development of modern computer technologies, particularly in architecture. A feature of modern architectural design is modeling and visualization of future architectural and design projects. The need to search for methods and principles of optimization of the process of three-dimensional modeling of an architectural project has been determined, which will make it possible to speed up the creative search and implementation of an architectural design. An analysis of the latest research on the topic of computer-aided design in the field of architecture was carried out. One of the main directions of modern architectural design is three-dimensional modeling and visualization, which includes both the creation of a 3D model and obtaining the final realistic image of the object. The main advantages of computer-aided design in 3Ds Max are defined and argued. Autodesk 3Ds Max is the most versatile software product for three-dimensional modeling, which has a wide range of tools and functions that fully satisfy the process of creating 3D models of future architectural projects. The main modeling techniques in 3Ds Max, which lead to the complex use of various tools and functions of the program, are formulated. Given the peculiarities of modeling, 3Ds Max requires optimization and a special approach to the process of creating a three-dimensional model of an architectural project. The main stages of building a 3D model in 3Ds Max are defined, which allow to simplify and speed up the process of three-dimensional modeling. Three-dimensional modeling and visualization is a promising direction of modern architectural design. Optimizing the process of three-dimensional modeling in 3Ds Max, with the help of methods and basic modeling techniques, helps the architect to gradually form a three-dimensional planning solution of the architectural project, in accordance with his own creative idea.
