Any primvar can be output as an image plane using a rendervar set to source "primvar"

Assuming I understand what you need correctly, you need to assign rest coordinates to the model(s), then make a Render Var that reads the rest primvar. In the attached example, I've added a rest attribute to Crag in /obj. The pref (position reference, for those not familiar with the term) AOV is created with a Render Var LOP, setting Source Type to primvar and Source Name to rest.

There may be a more efficient way to get it done; I'm barely fluent with Houdini, myself.
