ARCHVIZ APP BASED ON UNREAL ENGINE WHEN VISUALIZING VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

Functionally, game engines, which are the basis of video games, can also be used to create virtual environments. This is especially important when creating exciting demonstrations and presentations of various information products or physical spaces that completely immerse users in such a virtual space, which allows to increase the feeling of presence as if in a real physical space. Programmatically, these procedures can be implemented in projects based on architectural visualization. The aim of the work is to present the process of practical implementation of creating a virtual environment application for architectural visualization of the university auditorium using the Blueprint programming system. The methodology for providing a solution to the presented task consists in the application of the development of the interactive ArchViz application, which allows you to explore the created virtual audience with the possibility of interactive interaction with all its main elements. It is worth noting that only Blueprint visual programming was used in the development, which speeds up the development of such an application due to the possibility of visually displaying the logic of interactions, and which also does not affect the optimization of the project in general. The scientific novelty of the proposed solutions is determined by the fact that, thanks to the use of advanced features of Unreal Engine 5, such as the dynamic lighting system, real-time global lighting and high-precision rendering capabilities, the ArchViz application reaches a new level of realism and interactivity of virtual environment visualization. Conclusions. The developed interactive ArchViz application can be used in the design of premises, as it has attractive photorealistic computer graphics and contains interactive opportunities for interacting with the environment. This example of the Arch-Viz application can influence the perception of room design in general and create a demand for building companies using similar software solutions due to the received user impressions at the stage when the real room does not yet exist.
