Re: 3ds Max: Baking other maps.
There is a specific map "color" or "diffuse" map type to bake in max, i cant remember what it is called, that will not bake any lighting info, just diffuse info. Remember that the baking preview in max is always a lit preview, not a preview of the actual map you're rendering. -

How long is a piece of string? It depends I think we are going to need more info. In general, if you can not put time to the entire task, break it down to manageable units, then sum it up -
Re: Rigging question
Probably ribbon joints will work or you can try attaching joints to a curve info node or motion path. Ribbon Joints https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6oHUGvbT0w Curve info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYOhKeyJ9Lg https://vimeo.com/29530652 Hope this helps. -
Re: Reuse of UV Mapping Space
Nicely thought-out questions. You can indeed reuse normal maps, via overlaid and mirror UVs. I've collected some of that info here, plus links to many of the info provided by other Polycounters: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Texture_Baking#UV_Coordinates
