Paid Request - Help creating script to change normal direction!

[syra-syra]

Hi all!
Currently my vertex normals look like this: (top image)
But I want to make them point downwards, towards the vertex below (bottom image)

Is there a way to do this in Maya?
My UVs for these "hair strands" are all set up in a tile. (meaning I can apply a ramp to the hair strands).
Could I orient my normals to use the "v" direction of the UVs?

A bit stumped, any help appreciated! Happy to pay someone to help create a maya script to do this!
Cheers!

Please see reddit post for images, as Highend3d will only let me post 1:

[will-anielewicz]

turn on the normals display in the viewport
Display->Polygons->VertexNormals

select all the vertices you want to edit

under Mesh Display
click on "Vertex Normal Edit Tool"

this will present a rotation widget so you can rotate the normals of all the selected vertices

you may want to select the object and delete by type history after doing this
