Abstract: Production and industrial engineering are domains that increasingly require a sophisticated and multidisciplinary set of skills. As modern educational mechanisms shift towards more advanced patterns of remote and asynchronous training, learning objects have emerged as an ideal application field for monitoring and evaluating the consumption of better composed and enriched content. This article discusses the ability of photorealistic 3D models and interactive 3D objects to support such competencies development and empower engineering perception. Introduced as a complementary dimension of video training, the research invests in photorealism and interactivity to allow the trainee experience with greater control and more detail the functional behavior of machine elements. Structured as exercise material for a lab of mechanical design, photorealistic 3D models were produced and embedded in an e-learning platform for engineering students to evaluate. Their feedback was captured through an extensive questionnaire, allowing for a deeper understanding of the approach's efficiency and results.
