How do you convert Rune 7's textures into Genesis 8.1s UV's and PBR skin shader?

Is there a fast and easy way to do this without any seams or visual problems?

You'd need Genesis 3 Character UVs to get Rune's textures to work on an 8 or 8.1 character. From there, if you so desired, you could use Map Transfer to convert them to the 8.1 UV. Whether or not you do that step, you can then apply the PBRSkin shader and tweak to taste.

So no matter what it's going to be a lot of work. That map transfer is very confusing. I could figure it out, but that's like another thing to figure out in a long list of todo's.

It would be nice to have a feature where it just does all that for you within a few clicks.

Does it absolutely need to be on 8.1 UV? You don't really get the benefit of it unless textures are made specifically for it, so you might as well just use the Rune 7 UV included in that product. If you're looking for a shortcut, you could always start with an 8.1 texture you like, switch to Rune 7 UV, and simply replace the diffuse maps. 

Also, Map Transfer isn't the most intuitive feature to use, but once you've done it once or twice, it's really quite simple.
