<<No matter what you end up with some sharp edges and worse, faces / lines that are not oriented optimally for the final shape.>> This can happen if the shapes you used have some vertices that are "linear" as apposed to "curved". Also the lines could be the result of the shape bending back on itself as it follows along your path. A simple way of smoothing the lofted shape is: 1) Use Surface/Smoothing/Clear All on the shape 2) Use Surface/Smoothing/Assign on the shape This effectively assigns a single smoothing group to the entire object so all joins will now be smooth if rendered in either Phong or Metal mode. <<If I could just have a geodesic sphere morphed into the space of my spacially correct sinus blobs, they would look better.>> You might want to try a blob modeller or the SMOOTH routine that comes with Bones Pro.
