I downloaded this item: https://www.daz3d.com/futuristic-rustic-office specifically because it sdaid I could change the screen for the television and the other machines.

But I don't know how to. Can you advise me on this?

    Don't know the product, but I would change the TV-Screen that way: Search for the picture added to the screen (the tab "Surfaces). For this you click to the screen-surface (screen, screen_main or whatever), set your cursor to the little picture (don't click) and you see the path to the picture. I open the picture in Photoshop, set my picture in this picture and save it with another name in the same folder. You can try to open your own picture here directly, but sometimes it doesn't fit.

    Go back to DAZ Studio - Tab "Surfaces) and click to the little picture, added to the screen. Click BROWSE in the opened list and now you can choose your new picture.

    Pro tip: click the little picture and select Browse in the popup menu. Drag and drop the replacement in the Browser window, select it, and hit Choose.

    What about if you want to make the screen play a video?

    for DAZ studio you need one of the animated texture scripts, two in the store or free one by Casual Texmatanim

    or use a software to render in that supports animated textures which would be anything other than DAZ studio cheeky

    That one works if the UV an material designation has been done "correctly", there are TV sets where you have to flip the picture upside down and tweak the tiling and position before getting the results you want.

    One way to do this is with the LIE editor that can be found below the "Browse" option, open the LIE Editor and bring the picture on top of the existing one.

    When I understand you right, your pro tip is to replace the picture in a direct way? In this case please have in mind, that not all pictures will fit (in this example) to a TV–Screen. Some are rotated or they are distorted.

    Hadn't seen the answer from PerrtiA, sorry.

    Thank you Wendy.  I've been finding you a lot these past week.  Last I found you was an Unreal Engine youtube channel video talking about facial mocap.

    the DAZ content user circle is not really as big as many think devil
