Blendshape is for example, a way of creating facial expressions for characters. Basically you can create several copies of your head model and change the mouth to a smile, the next one you might raise an eyebrow, then a blink and so on. Once you have done this you feed these back into your head model by shift selecting each one but making sure you select the original last, then go to animatin menu, deform, create blendshape. then if you open the blendshape panel you'll have some sliders from which you can make your character smile etc. Its also useful for correcting joint deformation on a rigged character. I hope this makes sense

Btw do you (or anyone else) know how to control what parts of a polymodel that should have Hair? Now the whole model gets hair if I "create hair". I know there is the "paint hair"-tool, but I wanna be more precise and paint my area in photoshop.
