The theoretical component of this paper provides an overview of fundamental concepts in 3D modeling, including available software solutions and modeling techniques. In addition to outlining the production methods, the critical requirements for the successful implementation of the project were also thoroughly examined. The practical section of the paper focuses on the development of a 3D project utilizing Blender. Special attention is given to the integration of the project within the software environments of Unreal Engine 5 and Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
