Hi, I was wondering if there was a method by which you can resample a surface mesh with a set number of points to a higher complexity given the number of points of another model? I have seen other programs use a similar method to add complexity, albeit their methods you could not define the resulting number of points or match it to another model.

Are you talking about [Surface subdivisions](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivision_surface)?
