Cool, this is very similar to what I do to create clones except it’s all in Blender.
I use at least 4 programs because I am not so good in Blender 
.
I do as much as I can to match the topography in DAZ studio first with morphs and pose controls, use Carrara soft select to get closer then use the Blender Shrinkwrap modifier and finally Zproject brush in Zbrush.
Mind you this is on things like the Millennium Dog and Dog8 and my clone is only good for transferring clothing not features.
