I wasn't aware of Blender, so I'll check it out and see if it does what we want - thanks for the heads-up.
Blender downloaded and installed. I can't make head or tail of it immediately. There are video tutorials but, when I try to watch them, I get an error message that my video streaming has a problem (and yet I can watch other videos without any trouble). As usual with these things, one will just have to persevere through the lack of info and assumptions by the techhies who design the software and then (mistakenly) believe they can write user manuals. Is there a theme developing here? Anyway, when I have a month or two (well a few hours, maybe), I'll do some delving and see if I can work out what I'm supposed to do. Watch this space.
One question: does anyone know what file format is used for the 3D models that are utilised in C&C:N? I shall also need access to at least one to load into Blender and I'd be surprised if the original designers would be over happy with letting me have one. So, if anyone has a line to the designer(s), can they put me in touch, please?
LATER: I think I've sorted out the video problem - the tutorials appear to insist that I play them on Google Chrome - no idea why. However, how to get one of the TTS figures into Blender to modify it is still a mystery.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left
