LOD means level of detail yep. It's the file that the object looks better when you get closed !
Actually, I'm not sure about it being LOD. It should be though.Animation blocks are documented at the top. Also, they all have the same size except for what they point to.

I think that m2 importer allready created
possibly a nice place to start but if you read it only supports to wow version 2.xx-2.7 (which I did not realise existed)so props to the dev, amazing work!, has anybody made an adt importer as that could be very useful
