Little big planet puppets - how on earth do they draw those

As I say the little big planet puppets are magnificent.
Is there any way of creating the se little beast so I can use them in my flash CS5 virtual world. Are they just textures -

Perhaps I'm out of date, but I'm sorry to say I've never heard of them before.
A web search for "little big planet puppets" turns your post up as the 3rd item.  However, looking over the Images search results shows an awful lot of what look like actual photos of real sock puppets (e.g., this image)...
Do you have references (e.g., links) for the specific drawings you're trying to emulate?
I suppose it's possible someone's doing 3D rendering with a very believable set of knit textures...

  • Little big planet artwork. Textures etc...

    Sony has a game called little big planet.
    They create artwork that looks like puupets, crafts etc...
    http://browse.deviantart.com/contests/2011/lbpcontest/#/d394afx
    Check out the link for something created.
    I would just like to know if that is possible in photoshop and is it just a case of drawing and adding the texture?

    Hi,
    If you download the assets, you'll find that the character figures are .pngs rendered in a 3d program.
    http://news.deviantart.com/article/141527/
    The rest looks like Photoshop slight of hand. In the comments, I think he confirms that he did just use Photoshop to composite together his work and the assets. The textures he used are seamless...just bring into Photoshop and  "Save as Pattern".
    1. For the tree, draw the tree trunk and branches minus the leaves with either the paint brush or if you prefer the tree to be vector use the pen tool. After you have your tree drawn out, duplicate it.
    2. Click the layer with you first tree...the one at the top of your stack. Create a pattern fill adjustment layer...select desired pattern and scale and move it to desired location while the pattern dialog is open. Clip this layer to the tree layer. (Alt click on line between the pattern and tree layer.) Add a slight amount of drop shadow via layer style.
    3. Click on the layer with the duplicate tree...should be below tree you just worked on. Select the move tool then nudge using the directional arrow keys to move the tree copy down and to the side. Create a pattern fill adjustment layer...select desired pattern; scale and move it to desired location while pattern dialog is open. Clip this layer to your tree copy. Add drop shadow and some satin using a layer style.
    4. For the leaves, add a blank layer over your tree layer and repeat steps 1-3 for the leaves.
    5. Go back and click on the top tree layer...right before your leaf layer. Create a blank layer. Use black paint to fake some extra drop shadow from leaves over tree branches. Grab the tree trunk and branch selection by ctrl clicking on the tree thumbnail. Add a layer mask to keep the shadow only on the tree. (If mask is wrong, press ctrl + I to invert it.)
    6. For tree shadow, shift click on all tree and leaf layer thumbnails. Add a blank layer over background and fill with black. Use gaussian blur and free transform to arrange the shadow to taste. Change blend mode to multiply and lower opacity to taste.
    7. The background looks like it has a pattern overlay applied to the star image. Play with blend modes and fill or opacity settings.
    8. Stickers...use blend modes and fill or opacity settings to blend them into background if desired.
    9.Create layers over the tree and leaves to add other elements. Use layers styles to give them dimension and drop shadows.
    10. Lastly, make a composite of your layers...shift + ctrl + alt + E. Use the render lighting effects filter on this layer to unify the lighting. Use the fade command to set the blend mode for the lighting. FWIW, I like the results I get when I fade in luminosity blend mode and drop the opacity slightly.
    Just a little example I quickly made up working out in my mind how I think the image you linked might have been done.
    Staples: Rounded rectangular shape tool; converted to a selection; filled with paint; a layer style added.
    Rivets: Circular marquee filled with paint with a layer style added.

  • Little big planet karting Online Pass Issue

    I  got my little big planet karting the other day and typed in the code it gave me to get my online pass and it didn't work I can't get online

    i dont know mabye a glitch but I think if you got it used then the previous person that owned it entered the code or  if you ordered it from another country that could also be the problem  if you got your game new from somewhere in your area then I can't really help you with that

  • I have noticed two minor scratches in certain angles of light, how on earth did they get there?

    Pretty much like the description. I can see 2 faint scratches when a certain angel of light is on the screen. I can feel the 2 scratches by placing my finger nail over it softly. But how on earth could have the scratches got there in the first place? I treat this Ipad like Diamond. Only got it on the 4th Oct.
    Warm Regards,
    Tryf.

    A small piece of dirt, on your finger or the cloth you clean the screen with could have caused the scratches.

  • Little Big Planet Karting - 4 Player Split screen stop working

    Hi,  We played LBPK on PS3 for a year with my friends or family on local split screen with 4 players without any problem. But yesterday I wanted to play again and I was unable to load any map in offline or even in online mode. Still getting the same error message: "Only players 1 & 2 will proceed into this level. Are you sure you want to leave your sackchum(s) behind?" Even on levels which are 1-4 Players. I've deleted all my data, redownload it and reinstalled the game. Still the same. I've recently bought a new TV - Samsung 50'. Could this be the problem?  Thanks for any help.

  • Little Big Planet 3 adventure mode issues

    loading adventure hub levels in the story mode  have problems loading important assets, also  loading Ziggurat Grand Hall causes the player to spawn, only to fall and die repeatedly.

    you have to delete only your adventure mode save. and hope you don't get the glitch again.

  • Little Big Planet 3: The Journey Home Avatars

    According to the store, if this DLC was bought before 23:59pm yesterday, you would get a free avatar pack. Did anyone actually get the pack? Because I sure didn't.

    Just checked. There's nothing there about the avatar pack. Sadly it seems, despite buying the DLC hours before the deal ended, I have not been given the pack.

  • Little Big Planet 3 PS4

    I have an issue with the additional stories (the ones you purchase) I will play through the level(s) and work hard to collect everything and ace the level, but when I turn off the game and load it up again, everything I earned from those levels has disappeared, and it says that I haven't played any of the levels.

    I've got the same problem.  The whole game installed and I started playing, I was then informed that a further installation would take place as I played through the prologue.  I've finished the prologue but I cannot go any further, looks like this was an issue when the game was first released and it hasn't been fixed.  Tried rebooting, playing the last level, playing the last video again but none of this works.  Do I have to delete and try to re-install the whole game again?

  • Little Big Planet 3 (PS3) Mobility Issues

    Greetings! I had purchased LBP3 not too long ago this evening and when it finally brought me to the intro, I was unable to move my character in any way other than making a peace sign and waving it around. At first I thought it was strange and maybe it had been the controller I was using a the time, however I find that an unethical conclusion due to being able to use it on the playstation homescreen. After poking at the controls for a bit I finally decided to restart the console, which seemed to fix the problem of moving the sackboy around but took away the ability to use any of the other buttons on the controller. If anyone else has had this problem before and found a solution for it, I would be grateful to know! Thank you for your time and consideration! c:

  • Little Big Planet 3 Help?

    hello I'm not sure if this question has been asked be four but I really need help I bought the Mass Effect skin pack on LittleBigPlanet 2 when I did this it said it was compatible with LittleBigPlanet 3 but when I go to the store it says not available and its been saying that for the past 6 months not really sure what I should do

    I'm having the same problem. In the in-game store, it's showing that I need to pay for it again, but on the store from the PS4's main menu, and the store on my PC (see pic) there is a FREE version being shown alongside the paid one. Every time I try to download it, I get an error. This is extremely frustrating, and there is no way I'm paying for the same content twice.
