Aubrey has used object space in the past for example the wood fence piece, but now uses tangent space. Object space is really just used for characters right now, and everything else uses tangent.

Actually that depends on the shader. When creating an object, you type in shader type. If it's 'cubemapobj'item it's using object based normals, 'cubemapitem' shader uses tangent. I'm away from my PC ATM so names are from memory.

Just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong, this is the prompt I get in Adobe Photoshop CS6 whenever I save as .DDS

I'm using DXT3 on the list, should I change settings?
