The Complete Guide to Secret Materials and Stickers

**trip090** · 03-10-2010

Secret items are the things that Media Molecule don't give you. Some of these materials resemble glitched materials with swapped properties but if Media Molecule used them, why can't we? Some of these are real patterned proper materials and the stickers are the real deal too. There are many members of the community out there that don't know about these hidden gems so I've started up this thread to categorize and store information about all the secret stickers and materials out there and how to get them, seeing as it's pretty hard to find out about all the secret creation goodies from just one place.

This now includes objects by popular demand.

Big shout out to ViniciusBR11 for the brilliant pictures of the materials!

Extra:

The Complete Level to Secret Materials and Stickers is out now! It contains the majority of the materials featured here (even the non-editable ones like lava), all the stickers, decorations and objects. So, if you need a material, or even all of them, just copy the level to your moon and save what you want. It's that easy!

Spoiler - Materials

Materials

Here are just some of the secret materials. Includes an editable field to tell if the material is either smearable (drag and draw), drawable (place and then place again and also corner editable), or not editable at all.

Some materials use this method to make them editable (I'll refer to it as the Bomb Method).

Another handy method to know is the Cookie Cutter Method, where you make a cutter out of a material (just a shape cut out of a large block of material, such as wood) and copy and paste it into the material you want a shape of. Then, delete the cutter and the outside material leaving a shape of material behind.

There's cardboard something in the MGS pack... I think one of the mechs is made out of some cardboard gekko-style material? Not sure.

I wonder why they didn't give us some of this stuff. On purpose? By accident?

They are probably hidden easter egg materials. They probably don't wont the templates going to waste. Its like a treasure hunt. Rare materils hidden in places you generally don't go.

wow, just wow, really intersting, just a question, does the cardboard wood, keep explosion resistance but is as light as cardboard? If thats the case the i have found a way to make light mechs with resistance of steel!

The back of king zola is a sponge material we have only it acts like wood.

I kinda made a thread like this, but the secret materials part as a suptopic. If you said it was ok, maybe I should remove my hidden materials list and just put a link to this thread?

The thread is called "The Small Things in LBP", there's a link in my signature.

This is the best material that has ever been created ever! It's actually from the Islands Template. Here's a pic of it:

i might add the secret stickers and decorations at a later date.

thanks for comments everyone. im going to keep adding to this.

Maybe you should mention the cookie cutter method, where you enlarge an object, create a "cookie cutter" (an object with a square hole in it), press L3 to copy, then triangle over the object to cut out a little piece. It makes lava editable. At least, if it hasn't been patched yet, I used it a long time ago.

And I'd expect this sort of thread in the Tutorials section, maybe move it?

**trip090** · 03-11-2010

yeah, i forgot about that. i'll mention it in the top.

as for moving this, i thought it was fine here. made sense to me. but, now with all the how to obtain an material thing, it makes more sense if it was in tutorials.

we need some Mystic Mod Magic to move this thread.

I've seen smearable lava in a patch icon for a glitch museum but the level didnt explain it, how on earth do you do it?

**trip090** · 03-11-2010

you can get it from certain levels in the community. there are a few out there. just search for lava material. you'll find it.

This is really useful well done

**xkappax•** · 03-11-2010

Just FYI, there are a bunch of secret stickers and decorations, too. I know a monkey head sticker comes off of the flamingo story object. And you can get a secret orange flower decoration from the Giraffe story object.

Monkey head (note: I added the facial features):

Secret Flower:

The green daisy material is indeed great. Especially when combined with Hessian in a Japanese themed level.
