Whole figure - no. The technique for eye map transformation is simple - re-position and scale the map. Pretty much all figures basically map the eye as concentric circles, so transforming these is pretty straightforward. Not so with "pelt" maps used for skin. They are cut differently, rotated, and have completely different relative scales from one area to another. Coming up with a math formula to transform one to another is possible in theory but beyond difficult in practice.
Now it may be possible to use one map for preview and another for render. Hmmm. I'll check that.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
