I'd say @Nephew9999 was your best bet. He specialized in custom models.

Problem is, he's around so rarely....

thanks for your reply his page does not even show when he was last online, seems like there really is almost no information and tutorials about it. only some archived old websites with missing links. very sad.
its as if everything is purged from the entire internet on purpose.
it looks like all original characters from Unreal Tournament are vertex animated. this is gonna be a long journey.

Been awhile since I saw someone use "vertex" here:

And in this thread · viewtopic.php?t=11788

I think i found some usefull tutorials after a long search.

Milkshape seems to have default UT skeletons inside wich you can just load there. I was searching for those everywhere for the last few months

Did you check UT2004 Tutorials? I think they apply to UT99 to some extent:

Since i can't find alot on this topic (i had to search alot) literly spent the last few weeks digging all corners of the internet/archives. I try to share every info/tutorial/tool i find for Modeling.
Maybe make a simple guide myself.
Seems Milkshape3d is the 1 of the most usefull tools but i have not included it because i think its not freeware.

I uploaded a folder with tools and tutorials.
I think the Polycount tutorial in the webpages folder i upload on google drive is the best most comprehensive tutorial yet but i have not read any of them completly myself yet because i was an a "searching spree"

I will add and reorganize the folder later.
Some tutorials are very old and use 3dsmax1 but max has not changed much

As of now its pretty incomplete exept the folder
PdfUT99_wepages is mostly complete.
Warning it has some very old tutorials. Maybe i add some youtube video tutorial links later.

Its pretty complete as of now, maybe i add some stuff later. but this is pretty extensive considering its only about custom character creating.

i made a some tutorials into 1 word doc that cover the process in Milkshape before it gets lost. https://www.mediafire.com/file/4azbqn19 ... .docx/file
Also an old 3dsMax R4 character rigging tutorial i uploaded to my drive https://docs.google.com/document/d/17fw ... ue&sd=true
