Have you tried the FBX format? As far as I know FBX can carry baked PLA information.

Hi,

You can use this set of scripts to export a MDD file from Maya (this was initially done to exchange baked geometry animation between LW and Maya):

... and then you can use this Cinema 4D plugin to import the MDD file:

If you have any compatibility problems with your software version, etc... get in contact with the authors. Both of them are nice guys and I'm sure they'll help you out.

Good luck!
Jacobo.
