Virtual reconstruction of the historical fortress of Samara using 3D modeling

This article is devoted to the creation of a virtual 3D-museum dedicated to the historical part of the city of Samara, specifically the visualization of the Samara Fortress, built in 1586 on the territory of the modern Samara valve factory, and to the south of it, that is, towards the Samara River. First, the basics of 3D-modeling are considered, a historical description of the Samara fortress is given, an overview of the development environment is provided, followed by a detailed step-by-step description of how to perform the work with all the steps taken. The practical part is illustrations (screenshots) of the project made in the KOMPAS-3D 3D-modeling environment. This work is certainly relevant and has practical value. Its relevance is due to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 203 of May 9, 2017 «On the Strategy for the development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017-2030». It is also worth noting that this project can find practical application in the form of developing a museum for conducting virtual excursions around historical Samara. The conclusion is made on the basis of the analysis of the work done, which allows you to assess the effectiveness of its application in reality.
