The purpose of the thesis was to create an engaging and educational audio-visual product about the development of railways and the logistics processes that are an integral part of railway transport, with the help of animation and 3D modeling. Before creating the animation, the field of railway development was thoroughly researched, as the aim of producing the animated video was educational in nature – to present factual information rather than merely create an entertaining animation. In addition to researching the aforementioned field, the main objectives included the creation of 3D models of railway infrastructure and surrounding objects in a low-poly style, the animation of the created models, and the presentation of the use of the computer software tool Blender for 3D modeling and animation. For the final rendering of the animated video, approximately 35 different 3D models were created, which together formed the complete audio-visual presentation across nine scenes. During the creation of the thesis, it was found that 3D animation represents an effective method for presenting complex logistics processes and the development of the railway system in a simple and understandable way. Narration in the form of spoken commentary accompanying the animation proved to be a highly educational and engaging way of conveying information to viewers. Through the use of modern computer tools, it was concluded that even highly complex subjects can be presented in a simple and interesting manner. One such example is the creation of so-called low-poly 3D models, whose distinctive feature is that they do not display intricate details, but rather only the most basic characteristics of the model.
