Where can I find the taxi texture used on Car Ranger in these promos? http://www.daz3d.com/fifth-avenue-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s TIA

I'll bet you could come close with a primitive (Everyday Morphing Primitives) for the roof sign, Phrase Maker for the lettering, and shaders for the color.
Thanks, Petercat. I will try that if all else fails.
Here ya' go:
Maclean's Everyday Morphing Primitives: Rounded Box, DZfire's Real Lights, both for the rooftop sign, and Phrase Maker for the lettering.
Colors are Plastic: Yellow and Black.
Excellent, Mr. MacGyver, I mean, Petercat. I don't have Phrase Maker. Does it have an option for changing the font, or must everything be Times New Roman (which I avoid)? I know, I know, I can always go into PS and make my own lettering and logo. Thanks for going to the trouble. I really appreciate it.
No, the only font is what you see. I haven't checked the two add-on packs yet, they might include more fonts.
Judging by the promos that is the only font. However, thanks for kickstarting my initiative.
Maclean's Morphing Primitives and DZfire's Lights are the two products that I use the most. There is at least one in every scene that I create. Flourescent light boxes on the ceiling, turning a car into a box van, they really come in handy. I saw where someone even made an old-style jukebox out of them!

Thanks for the heads up and the tutorial. I am awaiting a sale for those lights. I am not yet ready for the Morphing Primitives, I think. Having been thrown into the deep end of life, I am slowly wading into 3D.
You can get a start with primitives for free. Some basic ones are already in Daz, under Create - New Primitive.
Yes, I've seen tutorials about basic modeling using them. I was trying to make a tesseract, but I could not get the rays (lines connecting the cubes's vertices) right.
They're on sale! http://www.daz3d.com/real-lights-for-daz-studio-iray
Thanks again. I have been trying to keep $50 available so I can get Lee 7 Pro Bundle (plus qualifying purchase) when he comes out. But I'm already down to $45.
