    I can't think of any way to do that inside DAZ Studio, you would need to add that later in postwork in a program like Adobe After Effects or similar.

    There are a few After Effects type programs which are either free or don't cost too much. You could try Googling 'compositing software' or similar terms to see what is available.

    If you have a modelling software, like Hexagon, Blender, etc, you can just simply create a star shape, add a color shader to it in DS, make multiple Instances, group them, and then have the group rotate....

    No, you'd create the star-shape in Blender, then export that as an object, and import the object into DS.
    As for the shader/color, you simply select the object's surface tab, and apply the shader to it (or simply change the surface color in Diffuse). I recommend you try using the base shapes that come with DS for testing this.

    EDIT: http://www.daz3d.com/help/help-daz-3d-video-tutorials/
    Try videos No. 1, 9, and the Quick Start.

    And http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/userguide/chapters/textures_surfaces_and_materials/start
    from around point 3.5.1

    To use DAZ 3D content in games that you are going to distribute or sell, requires a Game Developers Licence, and that can cost from $500 to $2,000.

    To get your star shape from Wings 3D to DAZ Studio, you would export as Wavefront OBJ, and then import that into DAZ Studio

    DAZ Studio can export a range of formats, like FBX or DAE, but how well they work with Unity I don't know.
