Hm, very strange. I downloaded the model, loaded the obj into your file and saved out the exr which came in fine when loaded via the pointfilein. You can download it here:

What TouchDesigner build are you using and are you on PC or MAC?

Sounds like the issue is that you can’t get the normals so the on the geometry COMP referenced TOP doesn’t have the same resolution as the operators for position for example.
Still confusing that you can’t generate the normals… don’t really undersstand why that be so different on your machine.
