I dunno about options to C4d. I just happen to have version six, free, off 3DWorld Magazine. Actually, I registered it and upgraded to 6+ but I haven't gotten very far into it yet. Pity, as it has some nifty tools.

Didn't UVmapper pro offer de-triang? Or am I imagining that? Yah...high on my wishlist for Carrara is more options towards increasing (and controlling) mesh density.

Here's the hat, by the way. Haven't painted the texture map yet (I want it to look a little beat-up and dusty). Lately I've gotten into doing a lot of final fitting and adjustment within Poser, using the Poser magnets.
