TECHNOLOGIES OF 3D AND AR AS A MEANS OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF THE SCULPTOR

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the impact of modern digital computer technologies on the process of creating a sculpture, expanding the possibilities of creative expression in the virtual space, identifying individual artistic and technological means. This direction is also complemented by consideration of the structural elements of 3D sculpture and the sequence of its execution. Research methods. The research is based on the use of general scientific methods, such as analytical, synthetic, typological, comparative, method of systematization and generalization, as well as interdisciplinary and special methods, which allowed to combine knowledge from the field of new media, art and technologies and to highlight structural-stylistic and compositional elements of digital sculpture. The key is the approach that combines aesthetic analysis and the figurative-stylistic method with the study of technological innovations that affect the forms and functions of sculpture. Research results. The proposed article reveals the relationship between art and modern technologies aimed at the implementation of sculptural projects, provides a detailed overview of the process of creating digital sculptures. The practical and methodological results of the research can be used for further development of current problems of art history, aesthetics, etc. In particular, for a thorough analysis of the processes of style formation in modern art, as well as for the study of artistic and aesthetic features of individual forms of digital and other types of fine art. Conclusions. In the process of research, certain aspects of the technology of creating sculptures using augmented and virtual reality were analyzed, which open up wide prospects for their implementation for the realization of various sculptural compositions and images with the help of special devices, which allows not only to reproduce the creative ideas of the artist, but also to embody them in the material. Technological means of 3D and AR technologies allow to give the sculpture a more perfect image, to develop the necessary surface texture, even to animate some of its parts. Virtual space, in contrast to traditional methods of creating sculptures, provides an opportunity to reproduce ideas without restrictions, such as, for example, the size of the sculpture, or the influence of gravity. That is, it provides an opportunity to experiment, create virtual digital sculptures, using various artistic and technological means.
