Is it possible to make an imported mesh independent and permanent in the Houdini file? I mean for example when importing a mesh from Zbrush to Maya, the imported mesh can be saved as a new geometry inside Maya, so my Maya scene can load the mesh even if the original mesh file or path was missing…is there a way to do this in Houdini?
