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.
Adobe Photoshop is definately my choice of utility for skinning.
I don't know about making models so I can't help you with that.

If you cant find it, you can download it for free from the Alias site

Look for a link for Maya PLE... HOWEVER this will be the latest version (V6.5) and the Maya - UT2004 exporter is only in a Beta state so far for version 6.5

MIne is in CD6 in a folder called extras. There is another directory called MayaPLE..
I have the DVD version of UT2004 but its only all the CDS on one DVD, yours should still be on CD6....

If you still havn't found it, I have the DVD version of Unreal Tournament 2004 and to get it I go to: E:\CD6\Extras\MayaPLE . Hope that helps.
put in the ut2004 play disk then go to my computer now go to your drive (Cd) it should have a ut2004 logo on it right click and click open you should see extras. The reason i know this is because i had the same problem at one point.

Note that the link uberstonks provided won't help unless you can get Maya PLE version 5 there. Unless I'm mistaken, the UnrealEd exporter plugin for PLE hasn't been updated to 6.

Are you saying that the Actor X plugins posted on the UT developers website
http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/ActorX
Only cover the Full versions of Maya and not the PLE version ?
Whilst Im back on this thread, The link I posted for the tutorial on the ALias website was written by a Guy called Geoff Parrott. You can view the tutorial at his own website rather than register on the Alias site

I understand that it didnt help you out bud, but it may help others

I found the page which has the download links for the maya5 PLE Exporter files

That's my understanding, yes.
The issue here is that the standard ActorX plugins produce output, I think in the form of .psk & .psa files. This is a bad thing from Alias's perspective when talking about PLE because it means you could use PLE to generate output that could then be used in a regular work pipeline, and that's in direct competition with full Maya. Basically, Alias would be giving away a fairly powerful tool and would lose serious amounts of cash because the people who can afford the real tool would have no incentive to buy it.
The plugin for PLE exports directly into UnrealEd, and will start up UnrealEd if you don't already have it running. Then the only way you can save your work and use it in a game is as a .ukx, which can't be imported into some other tool and converted to a different format. The Alias revenue stream is pretty well protected. Can't say I blame them.
Unfortunately for us, all this means no custom ragdolls via Maya PLE because KAT works on .psk(a?) files.
