    Hi guys, what I’m after is a bit difficult for me to explain, so please bear with me.

    I’d like to have a series of 3D planes, which flip front to back depending on whether the guide layer under that plane is black or white (animated – audio spectrum )… I’m trying to make a graphic equaliser where the bars are made out of planes which rotate around to show front or back…

    I have absolutely no idea what the best way of proceeding with this is, any pointers and direction would be massively appreciated.

    Many thanks for reading.
