Official answers from Epic Games (Unreal Community) to various questions about Alembic hair in Unreal Engine 4.25-26.

         In this video, I answer questions such as:
- solve the problem with DOF / Motion Blur artifacts while rendering hair?
- transfer color from Xgen / Ornatrix to Unreal Engine 4?
- avoid problems with wool simulation during Bind to skeleton mesh?
- export hair from Xgen in three ways using different scripts?
- solve the problem with Backface Culling during Scale X = -1?
- set up a shader and add texture render?
- to flip the texture?
- improve shadow rendering and hair/fur quality?
