I just discovered some useful knowledge any new developer could use, if they are look into making and publishing a game for public, and it has something to do with why just cause 3 and gta5 don’t have licenced cars,guns and aircrafts.

My purpose is, where can I find custom car models, meaning no name brand cars, like gta5 a car that looks like a audi buts its not a Audi, is there anyone that makes them or what do i type in the browser to find them, or would I have to make them myself?

This is pretty common knowledge and applies to guns (amongst a plethora of other things) and licensing is a pretty common topic in game dev, especially in this day and age. Copyright infringement on every corner, so to speak.

When it comes to models:

  • Make them yourself. Learn how to, it’s a great skill to have even if your skills are basic, the ability to rapidly produce placeholders you later replace with a real thing is worth the time invested. It’s free.
  • buy it off the marketplace
  • pay someone else to do it for you
  • get your hands on free car models but the quality is often lacking and it’s very unlikely you’ll ever find a matching set that fits your needs

If you have the basic knowledge of modelling, you could download a branded car (BMW, Audi or whatever) off a website and then remove the logo from it and replace it with a fake logo. Youtube tutorials should help you get far enough to do this if you don’t know how. I think that should be good enough in the sense of copyright issues.

Everynone say everything, like he say I think you need to consider learning modeling (the basic at least), so you can modify some stuff that you buy or get for free. Here some link for 3D object->

https://www.blendswap.com/ (mostly free and some under creative commons licenses)

https://www.turbosquid.com/ (mostly paying but some of them are free and good base)

https://sketchfab.com/ (you need to pay)

You can probably find more link on google, but if you don’t learn the basic, you might go over some important detail that you need to know before buying stuff.

Good luck!
