Alembic Hair import problem with tips

Hello! I dream to be a really great groomer using blender and I made some nice hair style. But there is problem with export to UE. Sorry for my bad english. I'll try explain.

So. First look at Alembic file from Maya. I made screen shot from tutorial by J Hill. Thos looks perfect. Information about thin tips does't lost.

And then look at alembic from Blender (pic2). I made this eyelashes by simple hair with children mode. There are no thin tips. Screenshot (24).png

If you try made thin tips via UE - eyelashes going looks so noisy/wavy. Screenshot (26).png

Also it's to hard export fur to UE, cuz you have to create abnormal UV and texture map. And the fur looks crazy, cuz «fur» has no volume. It is just planes. Screenshot (46).png

And last one. When you use simple hair with children there is no shine in UE. It looks so wired. It is hight quality render. Do you see this dirt and noise? Nothing close to hair. I play one week around all settings and the best shaders. But nothing help. Screenshot (48).png

Looks at the hair my friends made in Maya and render into UE.

The last two render are my renders into Blender. It looks fantastic. And it would fantastic to get opportunity to have full option to export Alembic to UE.
