Sorry Alliez, it's not possible. The only things you can directly upload into SL are textures, animations, and sounds. The SL avatars are only modifiable within SL, and we can't change the polygon count or UV maps on them.

Namssor, thank you so very much for answering my question. Do you happen to know of any program that could be used to do this ?

The only way to do anything remotely like what you are asking is to import the SL avatar models into a 3D package like 3DS Max, Maya, or Zbrush and manipulate the models in one of those applications. You can subdivide the polygons and distort the model surfaces in those applications, but to get those results back into SL you will need to bake the highlights and shadow into a texture that maps to the standard UVW used by the SL avatars. Once you have done all that you can upload your textures back into SL and apply them to the existing avatars to obtain the simulated static effect of what you were able to create dynamically in the 3D application outside SL.

Your welcome. Wouldn't it be great if we had menu options in the client that said "Upload Avatar" and "Upload Custom Morphs".
