hello guys , i downloaded a free zombie model from the net with animations , i know how to create materials and export import with actorx.
But there are no texture files associated with it so i cannot create any materials for the model.However the max file for the zombie has its materials in the MATeditor . Is there any way i can import the whole model with materials into udk or any other way to extract the material from MAT EDITOR and convert it into a texture file o something ??

you can export the whole thing as an fbx file or just import the textures as they are

you can do it with texture baking

* you might have to add some UV layout to mesh (in case it doesn't have one)
** I can recommend using Headus UV Layout - fast and easy app with great results :)
