Renderotica

Been using daz3d for about a year but this consider myself a newbie.

I'm trying to make something like this:

The way I see it, there are 2 things I need to do.

1. Have a blurred out image with glasses coming into frame that make everything in lense clear.

2. Have an animated Heads Up Display that scans, then shows results.

Questions:

Am I correct in the steps needed and how would you do them?

Can I do this in daz3d? If not what type of program should I use?

What are some potential keywords I can lookup for tutorial / directions?

Any suggestions, direction, or tips are much appreciated!

3- Create two layers of the same imported animation/render
4- Blur the bottom one
5. Import the glasses as a transparent PNG on a third layer
6- Use position keyframes to move the glasses
7- Use the glasses layer as a guide to mask the focus layer and make invisible everything outside of it, leaving a focused image only inside the glasses
8- Add the rest of the scan elements as a transparent PNG. Text can be generated inside the video editor

That's how I would do it, maybe someone else knows better.

Wow!

Thank you so much for that, Hellboy. Great help!

I'll be back (hopefully with a finished product to show) soon.
