Material Creator

Archive: 7 posts


First things first: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS "MATERIAL PROPERTY CHANGER"

One idea I recently had for LBP2 is the ability to create your own material, and share it with the community. Here I explain how it would work:

Let's say you want to create a new material. There's a button next to "capture object" in the goodies bag that opens the Material Creator.

1)Choosing a Texture:
Click on "choose texture" button. It opens a list with all the materials you collected in LBP and LBP2. Just choose the texture you want.

2)Choosing Material Borders:
Choose between round borders, cardboard borders, and the like.

3)Changing Colors:
You may want to change the color of your material. There's a "color changer" button that shows a color pallete. Pick the color you want and the texture changes color. So you can easily make purple wood or something of this kind.

4)Properties Changing:
You can choose between one of the default materials' properties or select "custom" to fully customize it. Here's what you can change:
- Weight: stationary / lighter than air / light as air / very light / light / normal / heavy / very heavy
- Grabbable: yes / no
- Explodable: yes / no
- Dissolvable: yes / no
- Slippery: yes / no
- Bumping Noise: choose between all the default materials' bumping sounds

5)Saving the Material:
After you're done, save the material and it will appear under the right section (or in "custom" section), with a "customized" tag.

6)Materials as Prizes:
You can give materials as prizes in your levels. When getting one, it does the same sound it's played when you get a new material in story levels. The material goes to your material bag.

7)DLC Lock:
If you get a material that uses a texture or sound from DLC, you won't be able to use it. (this prevents creators making a material exactly as the DLC one and giving it away)

yea then we could make like a orange floaty bubble and make it look like glass so it looks like a real bubble also good for making platforms (no need to glue to dm just change it)

The colour changer is the only problem as I see it. The materials haven't built with it in mind, so might look terrilble when their colour is changed. They'd have to basically rrebuild every material so it could do this. This would really take alot of work on Mm's part, so its probably not going to happen.2010-07-30 07:07:00
