Wings 3d to UDK

[mikeohio]

Hi,
I have 3 questions. Please help me with your replay.

1.Is it possible to export models from Wings 3D to UDK , if so , how ?
2.Do the UVs go with the model , since that would be helpful , creating UVs for Normal , spec and so on would be easier that way.
3.Is there any free software or at least under 40$ for animating your models and so on.
I used to use Hammer over a year ago , i though i would do something in UDK , I simply plan to do simple environments for a 3rd person game .
Currently fooling around and finding my way through the UDK. In meanwhile i keep watching 3D buzz tuts and so on.
Cheers , thank you for reading.
