Downloading in different formats is necessary if you'd prefer to avoid converting roughness to gloss/specular, as an example. There's nothing wrong with downloading the same asset twice with offline/real-time settings. :)
Having uvs backwards shouldn't be an issue in TB, especially TB2 where we added a bunch of UV improvements. If it is, get me an example mesh and I will bug log it. =D
I intentionally wiped out the lightmaps to make the example shot look even shittier. :p And I just realized I should have posted this in the UDK subsection. Oops!

I'd say it depends on a lot of things...Texture budget, detail continuity (you don't want to break apart two polys that have for example a line that crosses through them)...

Yeah, the nudge thing is a classic :) . Unfortunately it doesn't always work... and when it does, it usually only works to a certain extent. "shooting an edge on the face in question will solve this" Got an example?
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I have a question about texture atlas padding for mip-map. How should that be handled? I do not see any padding in your example.
