    Hi guys. How can I make these graphics, I come from a 2D world so I have no idea. The colours are also amazing, but that shouldn't be a problem.

    Not sure what part you're having trouble with but it's probably just 3D models and toon shader. Though it could just be 2D graphics, but it's hard to tell from just a screenshot.

    Hi there. Yes, they are 3D assets.
    1 - Can you recommend a toon shader for those kinds of textures and colours?
    2 - Which prgm can I use to create them - blender?
    3 - How long would the car take to create for example?

    There's a bunch on sale on the Asset store, but the best thing to do would probably be to use Shader Graph and make your own. That way you can tweak it however you need.
    Here's a video for make a multi-ramp shader:

    Yes. Blender is probably the best free 3D modelling software.
    All of these models are pretty simple. You could probably make that whole scene in less than a day if you knew what you were doing. It will take time to learn the software, though. Lookup "low-poly modelling" tutorials in Blender.

    1. Use orthographic mode in camera
    2. Use adobe Photoshop or other software to change your texture to the toon mode
    3. use high Brightness and Contrast for your textures

    Using 3d software to create toon effect is much better than using shaders. especially for mobile platforms ...
    The above screenshot is 100% 3d software and the art design

    Excellent guys. Thanks so much. Great help.
    btw why do ppl need photoshop if they can do it all in blender? Or is blender for building the model and then PS for the texture to "put on" it?

    You don't necessarily need Photoshop, but you'll need to have some kind of image editing application for making the textures. Photoshop is an industry standard, so it gets mentioned a lot, but there are also free alternatives like Gimp and Krita as well.
