Changable Message Sign Simulation
-
I want to simulate a Changable Message Sign (also known as a trivision or prism sign). The sign has triangular prisms/slats on which are sections of 3 different graphic images. I want to know how to easily put an image on the prisms.
I want to have a simulated control panel knob with A, B, C so that when the selector is rotated to A position the faces of the prism are rotated to show image 1. When B is selected, the prisms rotate to show image 2 etc.
What is the easiest way to copy the servos to all the prisms. I was using the physics copy but could not work out how to do multiples (like you can with the move tool.)
Hope someone wants to take up the challenge and create a working model.

I thought I'd do a few improvements to the sign. Just need to clean it up, but it is all there.

Thanks Barack for working on the model. Turns nicely. I wanted to know how to put three images on the prism faces easily and how to simulate a control panel knob in the model. Any ideas?
