My question would be can this be imported somehow into unreal as mesh?

Well, that might would work, but i wonder if there would be performance problems?Hmm, only way I can think of is export as an obj and import into Milkshape (But I think you need Milkshape pro for import/export)
Maybe 3ds2unr would do it? I never made a model, so I never used that tool.
