Hey everyone,
Unreal has the new hair system since 4.24 which requires a premade groom from Houdini (or other DCC) as alembic file.
I did not have any success so far with exporting a basic groomed ABC and import it into Unreal. I just used the shelf “add fur” tool.

Anyone already dived into that a little and could help me save some lifetime?

Thank you very much for reading.

Best,

I am interested in this as well. Is this possible now, if so, how to setup and export?

Anyone have any pointers on how to format my groom export so that ue4 reads the alembic as groom curves?
