VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS USING 3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS

Abstract

This work is devoted to solving the scientific and practical problem of preserving the historical heritage of Ukraine. As
of today, there are many ways of museification of historical buildings, among which external museification is a mechanism for
transforming a historical complex into an open-air museum, regardless of the state of preservation or the presence of a museum
exposition. In fact, the monument acts as a museum object and is considered the main, and often the only, exhibit. The virtual
form of museification is modern information animation technology, which makes it possible to create 3D models of historical
buildings, restore the original architectural appearance and represent materials about the monument in an interactive
environment, which improves the visual perception of the object.
The work is multidisciplinary, it affects history, art, architecture, construction, and its most comprehensive part is
computer, multimedia technologies and computer graphics.
The paper analyzes modern types, forms and directions of museification of historical buildings. A computer
implementation of a 3D image of the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Lutsk is proposed
