From 3D-Coat, export your textured model as OBJ (it is UV mapped, right?). The export dialogue box asks if you want to save the normal map into the folder with your OBJ file.
In 3D-Coat's preferences, set the Normal export to Maya, Blender format. This works best in programs like maya, blender, modo, carrara (using the Baker plugin, not the Deeper plugin which is too old like Vue's normal map importing is). But if your normal comes from a flat plane, say a wall or floor object, Vue will render it fine.
