The paper is relevant because 3D modeling is a topical issue not only in universities that train applied arts students but also in those that, within the framework of the university-wide educational programs, seek to integrate digital culture, broaden and develop the aesthetic horizon of their students. The paper reviews the main 3D modeling software applications. The capabilities and features of these applications are summarized. Various supervision methods are discussed briefly, and the main steps for organizing students' independent work with the 3D modeling software are offered: identifying the students' initial level and experience of working with 3D modeling and correlations with the required level and software for a specific course; developing a 3D modeling course educational program; determining the tasks' complexity level and, respectively, the context of the physical, practical, mathematical, and artistic sides emerging with the needs of their cherished and desired level.
