Planetoid has seen that an observant LBP player has posted a video on YouTube showing how to swap material properties with material textures. For example: Allowing for the creation of metal that floats, grabbable tin foil, or even sponge that acts like dark matter.
We’ve written this simple example on how to create floaty tin foil (as shown in the YouTube video):
- Create a shape with the material that posesses the properties you want to achieve. In this case, Floaty material.
- Using your pop-it again, lethalise the floaty material using the gas tool.
- Use the material changer to change the material of your shape to the one with the texture you want to achieve. In this case, Tin foil.
- Delethalise the shape to remove the gas and voila! You now have tin foil that floats.
You can do this with any two materials, to combine the properties of one with the texture of another. Pretty handy, huh!?
The ability to do this appears to be a glitch in the game, so it’s very possible that this feature may be removed in future game patches. Then again, this could just be a hidden feature. We’ll keep an eye out for whether or not this gets fixed over the coming months.
[UPDATE]
This glitch no longer works after the 1.07 patch update.
Cool! I must say that I have never really felt the need to swap materials, but now that I know how, my mind is already buzzing!
they have removed the glitch from the game. I don’t know why they wouldn’t have kept it, it was a pretty sick glitch
Agree with the guy above.
