it looks like you were generating your initial mesh in mudbox and then importing that into houdini and setting up ptex textures, I was curious if you ran across the problem of the obj export out of houdini crashing at all?
I am using mari 1.3v2 and after modelling in houdini as a subd mesh then exporting an obj, mari crashes everytime. I logged a bug with the foundry about it but it looks like it could possibly be a problem on the houdini end and how it orders the vertices when exporting the obj?
A thread I looked at which was hinting at there being an obj problem here: http://forums.odforce.net/index.php?/topic/11538-houdini-11-and-ptex/page__st__12 [forums.odforce.net]

I end up having to open the mesh in another 3d package and re-exporting to obj and it works fine.

im trying to delete edges by first selecting the edge then pressing delete which adds a dissolve sop but it leaves all the points behind for that edge which i have to manually go through and fuse each point? is there something i'm missing here that can just delete the points along that edge that aren't needed anymore??
thanks

Is there a toggle on/off for the frame and home keys e.g shift+F as when i put my cursor over the 3d viewport the shortcut doesn't work, although they work when i go to the menu and directly select ‘frame selected’ …
but the shortcut keys work in the node view but not in the 3d viewport.
