I fixed the exploding verts on the character seen here but when i re installed my udk the all the animset imports appeared lying down! to fix it i changed their rotation which now makes the skeletal import sideways 

the two animations have been imported. they are just tiny movements to get it working

High Quality - Low polygon assests

In your 2D textures within hypershade, use your normal maps as "Tangent Space Normals" instead of bump, it will keep most of your rendered high poly model details. 

Although there is a couple of problems with UDK it doesn't seem to like the normal maps very much (maybe because i didn't unwrap my UV's). Although it will look better with a correct texture as it keeps most of it's detail.
