(Note):
1 .Export abc form Maya and drag the abc file into the view-port to create a prop in iC7.9.
2. If the abc file does not contain UV information then the created prop will, likewise, have no UV data.

Note: Unreal Engine only supports one file one mesh Alembic files!

Alembic: Limitation
The internal structure of the abc files can not be edited, therefore any inconsistency between the Alembic Vertex Animation and the target mesh will result in a failure to load and apply the vertex animation.
