ive got 3d modelling software. ive modelled a car.

is there a way to get that 3d model into a game?

like using the .c4d file and call it into the program?

or would you have to render it in a special way, or would you have to get the model file into a different format? (.obj?)


p.s. im not saying i could program a game, i just want to know if it is possible, and how to do it.
its just i might learn C++ at some point in my life and it would be great if i could use my own models and put them in games when the time comes
