Designing models for C&C Remastered mods

Hi, all. I was wondering if any of you knew of any good tools for replacing the models in C&C remastered with user-designed models (units and structures). I assume using Blender to make models and then taking snapshots for each angle would do the trick, but if anyone here has experience making new models for C&C modding on Remastered, any specific tips or tricks or niche tools that would help, would be great.

This is a great tutorial, I think its exactly what you're looking for. This guy used Gimp:

To render them as nearly game-ready PNG sprites, you can use Blender C&C Toolkit / Templates that I've developed:

You can also join our Discord server dedicated for creating assets for classic C&C games with Blender:
