We just had a project involving C4D, Maya and Softimage. C4D hat massive trouble importing our alembic files from either package exported by crate - all transforms
were completely messed.
The C4D downloaded the latest version (beta or nightly - don't really know) which fixed the problem, so there was a C4D bug.
Maybe that helps.

Betreff: Re: Communication between C4D and XSI
If the camera transfered between Softimage and 3DS Max correctly but
didn't import into C4D correctly, it is likely a C4D bug I would guess
and probably should be reported to them with an example file. Given
how much work has been done with Exocortex Crate, I would think that
the camera transforms, at least if they aren't very unique setups,
should transfer correctly.
