Software appeared in recent years that allows almost anyone to start drawing, does not always meet the requirements for obtaining images of the terrain in the simulators. When synthesizing the visual 3D model of a part of the visualization scene, observed through the window of the simulator's cabin, it is necessary to obtain a model of space in which the observer can train his eye. The quality of this model is to allow a student to acquire professional driving skills. The authors take into account that a student acquires professional skills in driving a real vehicle by driving the model of the vehicle moving in a model of space. When learning using the appropriate simulator, possible deflections maximize the acquisition of socalled "false skills". Studies have shown that there are always false skills when learning on a simulator. This learning for driving a vehicle on a simulator differs from learning driving on a real vehicle. When learning using a real vehicle, false skills are not acquired. The analysis showed that one of the reasons for the appearance of false skills in learning driving a vehicle based on information received from a human visual system are errors in synthesizing a picture on the screen of forming intermediate picture. The article considers some types of errors related to an incorrect display of shadows when synthesizing the 3D models and suggests ways of eliminating them.

The present time is marked by the regularity of higher education reforms. Of course, reforms are needed. Life changes and the education system must change too. Each reform requires some adjustment of the learning process. In this, the process should not be destroyed. To prevent this, people who implement reforms should know the laws of didactics, according to which the learning process functions. However, unfortunately, not all who work in the system of higher education know these laws. This is the teachers and administration of technical universities. The overwhelming majority of them have no idea about the laws of the functioning of the educational process, because they do not have a pedagogical education. Given how large a number of technical universities, it is easy to imagine how many people work in the field of education without pedagogical education.

An important aspect of human activities is receiving, recording and operating with geometric information possessed by all real objects. It is far from always that a person can receive geometric information directly from the object. In these cases substitutes (geometric models) of these objects, which carry the same geometric information, are used. They are geometric models of three-dimensional objects that people traditionally use in their flat images. The main requirement imposed on geometric models is to save all geometric information of a source object. To meet these requirements, a flat image must be created in accordance with laws discovered early. Unfortunately when creating flat computer images, these laws are not always followed. As a result the received images do not follow the basic requirement distorting the represented depicted three-dimensional world.
