I modeled an object in Modo and exported it as an .obj with material groups. When I bring it in to Houdini, the material groups don't show up. I don't know if it is just the materials from the .mtl file that aren't showing up or if the groups themselves aren't showing up either. How do I get the .obj to import with material groups or at least poly groups that I can assign materials to? I also checked the .obj in 3ds max and the material groups showed up there so it isn't a problem with the .obj file.

I want to use copy stamping to build my geometry, but I want to make each piece of geometry into rigid body objects. However, copystamping is on the sop level but I need all these objects to be on the object level. Is there anyway that I can seperate the objects out autimatically from the sop level to populate the object level?

Thanks
