It's a pretty broad question you're asking, but you may want to take a look at this-

While I have not looked at the new unreal engine 3, the procedure for importing custom characters for unreal engine 2.5 is pretty straight forward. For max or maya, you would model your game character like you normally would, rig and skin it, and animate the default sequences you want the character to perform ingame. You'd have to look at some of the character-packages in UnrealEd to see what animation sequences that might be. You'd animate all these, then use the plugin ActorX to export them into psk and psa files. You can then import them either with UnrealEd, or making your own package using the UCC utillity.

After you have your animation package, you also need to make an UPL file (or add to the existing ones in the UT folder), so that your player will be selectable and playable ingame.

And if you would like to take the development of your game character even further, you can extend the Pawn classes (Pawn, UnrealPawn, xPawn) to prove custom features/animations.

I recommend the book Mastering Unreal Technology by Busby.
