Converting Forza Horizon 3 .modelbin 3D models to .obj format is very simple and quick thanks to this little method!
A tiny software that doesn't even require installation allows you to convert any Forza Horizon 3 vehicle model into the format in just a few clicks. .modelbin to a format usable by all 3D software: .OBJ. The purpose of this operation is to recover the models in order to import them into the software to use them to make render, of the mods (for GTA V for example!), of the 3D videos or many other things depending on your needs.

IMPORTANT:
In this tutorial you will not learn how to convert a vehicle from scratch to GTA 5 because the method is much more complex than for other simpler vehicles. Here you will ONLY learn how to convert them to .OBJ, you are free to learn the conversion for GTA 5 later using the COMPLETE CONVERSION TUTORIAL BY CLICKING HERE. However, I advise you to learn the basics and train yourself with other conversions before starting the Forza Horizon 3 models because you will have to learn to use your own textures from A to Z, redo most of the time the UV Mapping, create all the materials and apply them to each part of the model, edit the size of the dashboard and place it in the right place, the same for the trunk and the hood in some cases, the wheel, and edit the doors on the right side. As for the rest, the conversion method remains basic. In conclusion, this tutorial is reserved for modders who have ALREADY experience in modding and who will know what to do with the 3D models. Do not ask me for help about a conversion to GTA 5 I no longer respond to requests concerning modding because they are too numerous and therefore unmanageable, thank you for your understanding.
The textures are extractable but most of them are useless, that's why you will have to use your own, the only useful one is the one mentioned in the video which contains the badges (buttons, logos, texts...). To extract them you will need to use the software Swatchbin Texture Converter can be found on Google very easily.
You can get the 3D models of the vehicles from Forza Horizon 3 on gamemodels at THIS LINK and the extraction tool at THIS LINK, or simply by following the links in the video description on YouTube.
