      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

      Awesome, thanks for the info guys. I listened to the Feng Zhu video and it was pretty awesome. Lots of good info in there to learn from. I especially liked the part about mixing two existing things into something new and not trying to over-create something.

      For verts specifically you can select the verts you care about and in the channel box click the CVs (click to show) and a new drop down will appear with the vert info you're after, wait I'm totally wrong not sure what that info is it shows there?

      I did a ton of it in college. You'll want to build a little press out of a few pieces of plywood and the special screen hinges. it makes doing this stuff by hand much more manageable. the shirts we managed to make were pretty professional and clean because of it. i'm sure some small presses can be found or perhaps those…

      I moved your thread from 3D Showcase into Animation Showcase. There tend to be more animators in here, so this is a good place. I also fixed your Youtubes. For future ref, we have some info about embedding in the Info sticky at the top of General Discussion.
