Q: how do 3d-models copyright work?

I`m a Game Developer and I`m stuck in some weird situation. I wanted to work on a big size 3D-model but it take a lot of time and need too much datils, so a friend of main suggested that I take someone 3D model and add it in the big size 3d model as a small thing that won`t make a really big deal. I didn`t know what to do so I need a answer on how do 3d-models copyright work and if there is a way to not get copyrighted.

Thanks a lot!

A: 3D images would be filed and registered as any other file. You could file the different views of the object.

If you do not file anything technically you do not have a copyright registration.
