The VueSync plugin is part of the Vue Infinite install, as supplied by e-on Software, it is NOT an "older" plug-in. It is not, to my knowledge, included in the Vue PLE installation.
Assuming you are using Vue 10 PLE, look in the Vue 10 Reference Manual in the section "SYNCHRONIZING CAMERAS AND LIGHTS" from page 546 onwards.
Workflow to integrate CINEMA 4D and Vue would be as follows:
Export Vue Terrain in CINEMA 4D format.
Open the C4D file generated by Vue in C4D.
Animate camera in C4D.
Use VueSync plugin to export camera to Vue.
If you have the render cameras in C4D and Vue synced then you can render the Vue scene in Vue, the C4D scene in C4D and put the results together in a Compositing application such as After Effects.
The only limitation is that you can't export infinite terrains or extracts from infinite terrains from Vue. If you are also evaluating Planetside Terragen you may be interested to know that it is possible to export a segment from any terrain from Terragen.
I hope this helps.
