Quote - - re: morph transfer vs. shape transfer... shape transfer is closer in functionality to 'shrink-wrapping'.  Morph transfer attempts to create morph-deltas on one item that would be equivelant to the morph-deltas on another item that used a different topology (geometry layout) - it doesn't try to make the shapes match each other, just creates morphs that move similar groups of vertices when a morph is applied.

It may be easier to understand this way:

A hypothetical Morph Transfer:  V4 "nose bigger" -> Jessie would not result in a morph on Jessie that made her look like V4 with a bigger nose, it would still look like Jessie, with a bigger nose morph.

A hypothetical Shape Transfer: V4 -> Jessie would attempt to create a morph on Jessie to make her look like V4 (ie. Jessie shrink-wrapped to V4).
