transfer uv's problems
I made a character. I will have 2 uv map sets. One for normal and one for texture map. I have to do so because for normal and light map uv's cannot overlap, while for texture uv's can overlap (so i can texture just one half of it).
Now, how could I transfer uv' from right side of character model to the left side? I can't (I think so) use transfer tool, becuse it is a one single object and I don't want to break it into two. So how would I to that (I think you cou say I want to mirror uv's from right to left side)?
Tnx!

would be to first duplicate the model,
the take the duplicate, break that into 2 delete the side without the UV,
keep the side with the UVs, then mirror duplicate that half,
then flip the UVsof the mirror duplicate in the poly uv tools set.
then merge the 2 halfs, sew the border uv edges,
then transfer the uv coordinates onto the original mesh.
it should work. unless maya acts funny about vertex ordering. but i doubt it will in this case. .
