Normal maps for different UV sets

Anyone know if there is a way to convert a normal map from one UV set to another?

I really like the normal maps for V6 and S6 but I would love to use them on different UV sets too. Especially the S6 one would be great as a base for other textures aswell, just to give a tad bit of detail to the figure and to break up speculars etc.

    Does Map Transfer work?

    Ah yeah I almost forgot about map transfer. I just went through it and so far it seems to be working. Hopefully it will be fine on seams. Thanks for refreshing my memory with this :)

    edit : Just as I thought though. Creates seams and some artefacts :/
    edit 2 : Well, I just did it the other way around and transferred V4 maps to S6 so the normals stay the original and it seems fine now.

    Yeah...it's a 'close' fit...but for something like a normal map, it may not be close enough...as you found out. With a normal map, slight variations will be more noticeable.
