Hi Timberwolf, 
not sure if I understand right - you do not find a deformer that is convenient enough for your modelling requirements?

I was told C4D would be working with PML if a tool named riptide or something is used for import/export.  Have you tried this? Drop me a sitemail if you need help with C4D.

Regarding Hexagon, I was told there is a smoothing brush in the UV/Paint section. I did not try it personally so due to lack of time, unfortunately. I did a bit of smoothing but used Sculptris for it back then.
