I know that loda.o is for head shape, but I haven't managed to figure out what the others are specifically for.
Have you ever checked out xpblend.viv. That file has all the shapes (head, body, and otherwise) available in Create A Player mode. It seems that to create a player, Live blends different shapes. For instance, Live would take the afro hair shape and blend it with a narrow face shape. I've been able to "export" my created player, so that he has his own FSH/LOD files, and is still using the cyberface Live gave him. He has an afro with a narrow face but I haven't been able to export these features properly. I can only get one of the two features at once (either afro, or narrow face).

I have a feeling that those BLEND files in xpblend.viv may play a vital role in this situation and allow me to blend the two features. I know those LOD files are going to be crucial to patch makers once they're understood.

Anyone else have any information concerning this?
