So, you can start UV Mapping in Zbrush (or Mudbox??) and use the mesh then only for rendering in Maya for instance.
But if you want to have a clean topology for animation or just becaus you are a perfectionist, then you need to retopology the mesh / model whether using maya or software like topogun or 3dcoat.
You need to watch your workflow since you may not use former created textures anymore since by re-doing your mesh you will need to UV Map the new mesh again...
The "oldschool"-way to model by draging the vertices is for sure still in use but since packages like mudbox or zbrush exist, it became way faster come to good results. Sometimes I still start the oldschool way in order to have a good topo for sculpting!
