The udo file is only for displaying in Moray, it's the accompanying include
file that's rendered. When you convert the udo to a mesh2 the information is
stored in the pov file instead of the separate include file. Another thing
about udo to mesh2 conversions (in Moray) is that the surface normal
information is lost, the udo format was not designed for conversion
purposes. Are you using surface subdivision?
