http://www.luxinia.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=444 hope that helps, although the major problem will remain that tangent space normal maps heavily depend on the way the tangent space was constructed and how the renderer interpolates. I use nvidia's mesh-mender method by default, but likely you will have your stuff rendered…
I'd say, don't concern yourself with limitations right now, just focus on making it look it's best. You'll want to be sure to keep all your pixel depth consistent. It'll also help to have a reference of exactly what you want to do. Check out this work of Stefan Morrell…

Thanks everyone! Are people still having speed issues with the site? I've tried it from home on my older computer downstairs and at work and it seems acceptable as the full size images are 440k and I saw on Poop's site that he uses .gif files for thumbnails so I tried that and was able to half the file size for each…
