Reality Factory uses .act files (actors).
These can be created of the following files:

.max
.bdy
.nfo
.act
.ms3d (using Equity 2.4.7)

The best modeling tool to use is Milkshape 3d, but you have to pay some money for it, 25€/$35 I think.
There are also some free modeling tools on the market: Blender3d, Anim8or, Shapeshop,...

You can but you need to use plugins to convert them.

The best thing is to do a search of the site, If you have a question, there may be 5 or 6 answers already posted on what you need and what to do.

Welcome to the forums, mate.

I didn't see this answered yet. RF only accepts bitmaps. I've only used 24 bit BMPs but I'm pretty sure you can use 16 and 8 bit BMPs too. You can also use targa files (.tga) if you want transparency. You'll need to use the AlphaCreate program to create the targa file from two bitmaps, though. .TGAs produced by PhotoShop for example have never worked for me.

Actually, I'm not quite sure about this all anymore as there's a fairly new tool that lets you create actors from .ms3d, called Equity. It may let you use .jpgs or something. Bernie would know more about that.

***EDIT***

Personal behavior. Way of acting. Bearing or deportment.

No it doesn't, the only textures supported at the moment are .bmp and .tga. Photoshop 32 bit tga's compressed or uncompressed do work ok.

Well, I didn't know for sure. But if you still need help, you can always ask!
