Baking in DAZ Studio

I do a lot of back and forth between Studio and Zbrush to sculpt custom morphs, etc.  I was wondering if it's possible to bake in figure materials on the Studio side using Shader Baker and then export the object/figure to ZBrush and be able to see the baked materials on the ZBrush side. 

I've never used the Shader Baker in DAZ studio.  Well, that's not true--I used it once on a stock figure to see what would happen if I baked in the skin materials and the figure turned black inside Studio.  I exported it to ZBrush and it looked like any other export from Studio--no materials.  Obviously I didnt do it right.

Does anyone know if this is possible between Studio and ZBrush and can anyone point me to any tutorials/resources?

EDIT: Moving this to the commons to see if I can get an answer.

I know it's possible to remap the texture onto the model in ZBrush, but was just wondering if you can just bake the mats/shaders into the model and have it go textured over GoZ.
