Unreal Engine 4-5 - Groom Plugin Alembic Hair: Q&A

UPDATED Feb 15, 2023

September 1, 2021 - Epic Games stopped answering my questions because they have concentrated all their efforts on creating Unreal Engine 5, so please post new questions here - https://dev.epicgames.com/community/ - There they promised to answer... And I'm closing this project...

But if I find answers to any questions myself or Charles helped me sometimes, I will of course add the answers here.
