Re: How can I achieve this faded concrete paint effect with vertex blending?
I often prefer this approach over multiplying a noise over my vertex color gradient This isn't "better" - its just different The main benefit to me is that it centers the noise around the mid point of your gradient rather than only eating into the higher values and also gives you more contrast.

Re: Normal Map Issue

Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
To avoid derailing Adam's thread I'm moving this discussion over here. I'll tackle these one at a time. These 3 are somewhat linked.

Re: Which file formats should I use for what purpose?
the main issue is that it assumes any 16bit image has data encoded in linear space so if it's a color image it'll apply an sRGB transform in the sampler It's less crap in 5 than it was on 4.x -
