I have to re-learn Max 2014 for a job, and I'm frustrated that there seems to be no tool for selecting a portion of a loop. I found a thread here that pointed out the Step Mode Toggle, which works nice, but only with faces. Does anyone know of any simple method to do this?

looks great not sure how you would bake that fluffy collar, maybe try sculpting something more bake friendly like this guy has http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/004/d/2/arenanet_art_test_05_by_nelyia-d5qfrzo.jpg
I've had the interactive split tool fail on me the same way. If you are using Maya 2014, you can use the Cut Polygon tool in the Modeling Toolkit, it's more reliable. But Connect in this case makes more sense, like Passerby said.
Ah shit I wanted to do that one some day, but you're already doing good ^^. For the shading in Max I can't tell, I find the viewports really weird since 2014. Did you try to simply change the shading mode ?
Regarding unreal engine you can easily translate the code to material nodes. I've done this for UE3 and it should work for UE4 just the same. http://www.abload.de/img/blendnormals_rnm019yu1w.png http://oliverm-h.blogspot.de/2014/01/ue3udk-mixing-normal-maps.html
Love the handle, but there is something wrong with flashlight(or whatever it is) it`s too dark It could be for differnt reasons, did you use this values for your textures http://seblagarde.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/dontnod-physically-based-rendering-chart-for-unreal-engine-4/
OS maps from max need a more complex conversion than just inverting a channel, you've gotta invert something, and swap some channels as well.... there is a solution in this thread somewhere tho! http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=909611&postcount=214
