Claim One:
1. A method for processing three-dimensional (3D) graphics data, the method comprising: receiving a first polygonal mesh representing a humanoid face; determining a mapping from each of a plurality of vertices on the first polygonal mesh to a corresponding vertex on a second polygonal mesh; warping 3D geometry of the second polygonal mesh to correspond to a target geometry; simplifying a topology of the first polygonal mesh by reducing how many edges and vertices are used to represent the humanoid face; generating, from the mapping and the simplified topology of the first polygonal mesh, a third polygonal mesh having a topology of a subset of the second polygonal mesh and a 3D geometry of the humanoid face represented in the simplified topology of the first polygonal mesh; and attaching the third polygonal mesh to the second polygonal mesh by: removing, from the second polygonal mesh, the subset of the second polygonal mesh, and attaching vertices along a boundary of the third polygonal mesh to vertices along a boundary of the second polygonal mesh corresponding to the removed subset.
