Comments.Text: Hi, and welcome to Bricks EggsinaBlender. Teaching you how to use 3d software is rather beyond the scope of this site, or indeed a single question and answer here - you might be better off taking a look at some of the great tutorials for [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) (a popular open source 3D modelling application). You can also find some [helpful guides](https://youtu.be/7FNUxEfvd48) to exporting models from LEGO Digital Designer or Stud.IO to LDraw format and then into a format that other programs can use.

  Most likely Autodesk Maya and possibly some other tools based on LEGO internal parts libraries like the Easy Builder Tool or Brick Builder.
  
  All of those games are made by [Traveller's Tales](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveller%27s_Tales). In a video on the development process for their Jurassic Park title you will see that they use Maya to create and animate their models (the right screen would be very familiar looking to a Maya user).
