Alembic scene scale ruins the UV mesh resolving

[Donatoz]

Hi, i've encountered an issue while using a texture to sample a strand color.

I'm using .abc file as a source (exported from Blender, with the scale of 100.0) and Root UV option is set to Resolve From Mesh, with the basic mesh provided. The file has the Scale Factor set to 1 (default is 0.01), i.e. it has x100 scale during the import stage.

Expected result (blender view):

Actual result:

Seems like alembic scene scale is not considered during the UV resolve process.

Hair shader (all values are set to default expect the base color, which is sampled from the texture using rootUV):

Sampling works fine with the file scale set to 0.01, but the hair object appears to be incredibly small in the scene + simulation is unstable.

I've found a workaround for the texture to be sampled properly - setting the .abc file scale back to 0.01 and increasing the hair object scale with Strand Scale set to Uniform World Max, but that makes the simulation absolutely unstable, so that won't suffice either.

Tested on Unity 2023.2.11f1, package version 0.11.0-exp.1, Alembic package version 2.3.4.

Note that the texture was created using the sphere UV.

I'll try to find the solution, but if you know any other way to import a strand color data, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for attaching repro resources. Will look into this when time permits.
