Hello. I downloaded a free model by a Cinema 4D user of an iPhone 4 which is in the obj file format. If I import it into Hexagon, the model is visible and can be worked with but if I import it into Apprentice 10.0.4735 it “loads” in but I don't see anything in the viewport. I exported the file from Hexagon into a new obj file and tried to load it in Houdini but same results. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am not able to attach the file to this post since it's obj but here is the link to the file:

Where it came from:

and where I heard about it ; )

I downloaded your zip file and used a file sop to bring in the obj - it works fine - it's big but I can see it in the viewport….

Thank you. That worked but it looks mighty ugly. :shock:

ugly in what way?
to me it looks like any other obj made in another app loaded into Houdini…

exporting as FBX might be better…

The geometry looked messed up to me. Anyway, I converted it to FBX, imported into Apprentice and exported as a hipnc file and the geometry looks better to me now.
