Hello guys, thanks for the responses.

ADK you told me you simplified my asset but you didn't attached it!

Cheers

All I did Javier was decrease the poly count on the internal boolean (the one that produces all the irregular noise/cuts along the y axis) as well decrease the internal sphere count (scatter SOP) and their poly count. Not sure if I saved it but happy to reproduce it if you need. It took too long to cook otherwise.

Not knowing the old shop context too well makes me pretty unaware of these limitations, so knowing that my hard wired functional expectation were at least in the ballpark is a relief. One thing is pretty clear tho , I should have started my Houdini journey eons ago. Thanks again jsmack.

I just quickly tested this with an OBJ and all the booleans / groups do come across.
Different apps will pick these up differently obviously, in LW the groups come in as parts (GIF).
I'd test other apps but my main machine is out of action.

Also, I simplified your test setup, just a lot less polys and scattered points, as it's pretty heavy to play with on my old laptop here.
