model and 3ds problem. need help.

[mthnin]

Hello everyone, it's my first post here.

I'm writing because i want to ask about something, maybe you will be able to help me with this one. Is it possible to import some model extracted from ut2004 files into 3ds max? I'm newbie here, and i completely don't know, where to look for player model in ut folders, and how to import it into 3ds max. Is it possible? If yes, how can i do it, could somebody help me do this?

cheers

Player models are stored under animations directory *.ukx , but i don't think u can import in 3ds max.... If u go online there are many unreal character skins availabe for 3dsmax... I don't remember wat site it was... but i did downloaded few 3ds format unreal modesl with animations...

chk on fileplanet, planetunreal.com and few other sites...

hmmmm, ok, thank you for your answer... but aren't *.ukx files some compressed archives or something? And what is *.psk and where i can find it? I realised that i can imoprt this into ms3d or something, then export as *.obj and import into 3ds... i used some game extracter to check out, what's inside *.ukx but there is no such a file as *.psk /i think there isn't.../ where i can find it?

too bad that you don't remeber this site you were talking about. All i need is low poly model of horse with textures /for some machinimations/, it is real pain in ass to find some free one, and one of western mods for ut2k4 have those... maybe some of you saw something like that and could post some link here? I would be veeeeeryyyy grateful.... or help me figure out how to convert that one from the mod...

.psk files are the mesh files... When u use ActorX from 3ds.. u export u r character which is saved to .psk file format, which further can be imported into unreal ...

for your horse model.. u shuld look at http://www.3dcafe.com/wrapper/

there are free 3d models availabe.. but not sure with textures.... yeah it is hard to find a readymade low poly models...
