3D modelling is process of creation of three dimensional object mathematical representations. Every 3D model represents information and data collection about points in 3D space which computer interpret like virtual object displayed on screen. This article present analyse of 3D modelling program tools. Based on 3D modelling tools comparation some functions that are usually used can be identified. Function can bee seen from two aspects: customer and programmer/designer aspects. For each aspect there are some basic function groups. From customer aspect function groups are identified based on method for 3D model creation. Programmer/designer aspect describes algorithms that are used to perform specific function group. These algorithms are used in various program tools to practice identical or similar functions.
