@ Nicholas Bishop:

Any word on fixing the animation problems with sculptmode i mentioned  
a while back?  Users are going to expect to be able to animate a low  
res mesh and have the higher level edits accurately transformed.  An  
alternative (stop-gap) approach would be to implement a displacement  
map generator into blender.

I'm sure you can find a paper here that can describe how:

this link here might help you:

It includes methods of preserving hierarchical edits in animation.
