First you modeling 3d mesh, than you creating UV for it, than you drawing texture on UV (or baking), than you creating material(or materials) and assign it to 3D model. In best way team divided by programmers, modellers, etc., so if you a programmers you should not take care of modeling really much, but if you are first started indi. dev. you should look to free soft which supports 3D modeling. For e.g. I am using Blender, for creating primitive models(my modeling skills suck), but it can be used for serious modeling. Download - https://www.blender.org How to import models - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqHM0JkkuMs (But better to export your model to popular formats e.g. .obj, .3ds, because you should now how it works, every modeler use unique soft and you can't know which one, so you should the way, how to import models to your game from all supported formats.) Also... There are dozens of free 3D models, not the best way for developing, but for training or creating first view of the game is ok, why? Because it damn free and save your time :) Just google "Free 3D models".
