LW to Maya plugin?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Yeah, preferably I'd like to keep the texture maps intact.

I've never heard of Polytrans. Got a link or info?

Sorry, I meant to say that I've heard that even the demo will do what you need I think.
