You've seen those real life signs that have the rotating triangles which show a different advertisement on each face. Well now they are available in Second Life too! The biggest difference is that this one will take as many textures as you need to drop in it. Easy setup - just drop textures in it - that's it! Click for a menu and you can set speed between rotations or reset after adding new images. Very simple to operate. Your ads appear seamless at the end of each rotation - it's very amusing to see people try to figure out how it works. It isn't a texture trick. There are ten segments that actually rotate in precision giving a perfect picture. Due to limitations within second life scripting, this unit must be placed upright. It can be rotated but not tilted. It will self correct its self in the event of improper mounting once it is placed up right. You can't hurt this sign unless you tear it apart. This is a 3 X 2 ratio sign. It is available as a 1 X 1 ratio also. For example 1 X 1 is for square pictures. You can put images of most any shape and size in either one and they look good.

Here are the operating instructions:

GnF Easy Sign Setup Instructions:

1: Edit the sign and remove the pictures that it came with. Drop in your own pictures.

2: Click the sign for setup menu. Change speed between rotation starts as desired then reset the sign.

That completes the setup!

NOTES:

You must reset the sign when you add or delete images. It will take 2-3 revolutions for the images to appear correctly after a reset.

Textures will cycle in alphabetical order.

You can put an odd size image in a square sign or a square image in a 3 X 2 sign. They look good either way.

You may stretch the sign to any size you desire. You will not damage it. You can rotate the sign to face in any direction. You can not tilt it at any angle at all. Keep the sign in the upright position or the segments will get messed up. This will not damage the sign. Just straighten it out and it will automatically correct it's self within 3 revolutions. There is a limitation in SL scripting that makes the tilting option impossible to do without sacrificing smooth movement.

Should a seam appear the sign will fix it's self with in 3 revolutions.

If you accidentally break the sign by deleting a script or something, feel free to IM Fillo Farber for a replacement. I will be glad to exchange it for a new one.
