Hey, I was hoping to get some opinions from some of you freelancers / indies / other people that work from home... My girlfriend and I have been talking a lot lately about looking into finding a nice office that we can rent and getting a bunch of other freelancers and such together to share.

There are three radio buttons in the Paint Vertex Colors tool settings to choose…
I've never used Maya for this, but does it have a projection cage? I think you're right to question why no other (glaringly obvious) information was coming through in your normal map, I did a quick test to make sure I was sane and sure enough, you should be seeing some sort of "smoothed" corners.
