Quote - Is there any way to do selective intensification of the mesh, without sacrificing the, umm, topological integrity?  If "topological integrity" is what I mean.    Could some areas be given useful mesh detail without diminishing Antonia somehow?

I guess that could get pretty tricky. I must confess I don't particularly feel like trying it out.

One could try to go from the ~10k version to ~90k instead by using an automatic subdivision scheme similar to Catmull-Clark, but then we'd probably have to use something like your morph transfer software (or Crossdresser etc if that works on faces, as well) to get morphs made for the ~40k version over to the ~90k one. The shapes would be very, very close to each other, so maybe that could work reasonably well. I don't know.
