How to Bake a Flawless Normal Map in 3ds Max by "racer445"
is a great overall introduction to normalmapping, but there are some important corrections to make:

(5:42) Object-space maps can be mirrored ([wiki:Self:Normal_Map#OSNM why])

(9:39) In-game vertex count for a hard-edged model is not more than a bevelled model (why)

(11:00) UVs aren't good because some seams are overlapping ([wiki:Self:Normal_Map#EP why])
