I’m just wondering if there is a way I can retexture the Jumbo Jet VIP, I can’t seem to find the texture menu in Daz Studio 4.8 where you can change the texture.
All I know is on the Jumbo Jet VIP’s store page it says…
“There are 22 interior presets and 24 light presets!! These are very handy combined with Jumbo Jet VIP Only or Jumbo Jet VIP Hull. You can load in what you need and refurnish/customize what you like, change the materials/textures of the entire plane to meet your desire.
Create your own jumbo jet airliner! Nice for commercials, animations and pictures.”
Yes, I know I’m a Daz Studio Newbie.
Thank you,

You can use the surfaces tab to change the textures :)
Are you thinking of making your own graphics? Like as in the livery... By that I mean turning the default texture for the exterior graphics into say Air France or United Airlines or your own fictional airline?.... I do not own the aforementioned model, but most likely if this is what you have in mind, you'll have to do that in a graphics program like Photoshop or Gimp... DS will allow for certain adjustments in textures, but the sort of thing as I believe you are inquiring about, requires you to open the appropriate UV map in a graphics program (hopefully after making a copy to be safe) and altering the graphics there.
Excuse me if you are aware of this already, but you said "Newbie" and in some cases people have not been aware of this.
I have long been interested in that jet, but the price keeps driving me away. But I am still curious about how much of the interior is static vs individual props. I want to gut most of it and turn it into the spruce goose.
First of I’m sorry for the late replies I got busy with the Easter Holiday…
@mtl1: Thank you that was what needing at the time original posting.
@McGyver: Yes, I’m trying about making my own graphics, I’m no stranger to Graphic Programs, I’m using CorelDraw 4X but I couldn’t find the texture menu within DS. With that said your posting is a good point for other “Newbies”.
Thistledownsname: you can pretty much “hide/delete” the interior fairly easy. But I’m not sure if you can make into a flying boat to easy.
Retexturing this aircraft is being a pain due to how the uvmapping is, the side(s) of the fuselage are mirrored…. I wonder if there is a way I can get connect in Vendor & ask him about it?
