*I just loaded the CR2 I had exported earlier from DS4, back into DS4, and it wasn't pretty :( The main problem may be DS4's insistence on using PMDs. I HATE PMDs.*

Thanks for testing. It's possible the cr2 might work in Daz if it has pmds? *

DAZ sells the Sagytarios figure which is a centaur.  Maybe you could convert it's legacy rig to Triaxial and use it as a donor skeleton for your centaur.

I'd rather not borrow other people's rigging if I don't have to. 

Looks like you included magnets in the export, as the extra geometry appears to be the zone props.

I tried again with Alyson, making sure no magnets were included in the check list for the collada export. Here is the result in Maya 2012. The bright secition of the chaos is the selected part*.* There is one section of chaos for every bone in the figure and you can select them by clicking in the hierarchy. *
