Is it possible to model in Apprentice HD, export to ZBrush for touch-up, and back to Apprentice HD for rig, animation and render?

Sure, I can't remember what formats zbrush will accept but I would assume .obj.
So, model in houdini and at the end of the sop node network RMB on the node you want to save geometry from as a .obj file.

Bring that into Zbrush, do your thing there, save that out to .obj and bring that file back into houdini with a File sop.
