You can do that easily in the software you are using now (DS and Lux). I would recommend that you save your cash and learn to use the software you have. Jumping from program to program is not going to miraculously make you an expert. Only working with the software and making use of the many tutorials out there will. Once you have mastered a program it will be far easier to add additional tools. I use DAZ Studio, Poser Pro 2014, Vue Infinite in addition to Luxrender and Octane. I also use Max and Z-brush for modeling, but I did not learn all of those simultaneously. I started with Poser, then moved to DS and added the other tools of ther past 10 years. Just my two cents.

This is not supposed to sound harsh. Just my advice based on experience. I have seen a number of people that have gone from program A to B to C and in the end gave up because they never took the time to get a good grasp on either program.
