Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Not through Maya, all of the 2k3/4 character sources are in Max. You might try asking someone who's made a character in Maya if you can use their rig, best place to do that would be Polycount.
ack this not the news I was looking for lol .. well if you got any sources this would be very helpfull. My school ... listen to this only supports maya 6.5 but demands we make our mods in unreal 2004 .. wtf is this ...hmmm since things dont look so good when it comes to taking the character out of maya do you think this would work ?? ( this is pure speculation btw ) could I possibly some how export from maya to milkshape and then from there somehow get a default rig on it and into unreal ?? i'm bringing this up because when ever i hear of mod dev or what not I hear the program milkshape pop up at least once.
There's no way to export skeletal animations or bone sets from Unreal, and the official 2k3/4 source models from Epic only exist for 3D Max. I'm afraid you're stuck with either making your own skeleton or asking someone with Maya to use theirs.

if you head over to 3dbuzz and search around a bit you can find a maya version of the UT skeleton that's named and oriented properly. Then it's just a matter of binding your model to it and putting it in the game. Also if you have the UT2k4 ed that has all the tutorials and such with it, there should be a Maya PLE ver of the skeleton. Here's the thread:
