LittleBigPlanet 3 (PlayStation 3)/Unused Graphics
This is a sub-page of LittleBigPlanet 3 (PlayStation 3).
 | To do: There are way more unused stickers than what's listed here. |
Unused Popit Icons
mw_party_blower_animated_icon.tex
gamedata/lbp3/__book1/mesh/mw_party_blower_animated/mw_party_blower_animated_icon.tex is a Popit icon for an animated party blower object. The icon was added in Game Update 1.22, but the model, animation and textures do not exist.

sack_pocket_anim_sdf.tex
gamedata/texture_library/ui/animated/sack_pocket contains a looping animation of items being put in, and taken out of a pocket. This was used in early prototypes of the game, where the Sackpocket was accessed from the main Popit menu. In the final game, the Sackpocket is only accesssible by pressing Circle with the Popit closed, rendering this unused.
adventure_items_anim_sdf.tex
gamedata/texture_library/ui/animated/adventure_items contains a crude animation of scrolling text reading "ADVENTURE ITEMS". In early prototypes, all of the level's Sackpocket Items were accessed from the main Popit menu in Create Mode, with this being the icon used to represent it. In the final game, the Sackpocket Items menu were relocated to the second page of Global Stuff, rendering this unused.
tweak_state_icons_sdf.tex
gamedata/texture_library/ui/tweak_state_icons_sdf.tex contains several icons from an early version of the State Sensor. The three top rows represent the different states that the player could detect, while the Texas icon in the bottom left would have been used to represent the tweak itself. In the final game, the State Sensor uses a simplified text-based list for selecting which state to detect, rendering these icons obsolete.
temp_icon.tex
gamedata/lbp3/temp_icon.tex is a placeholder icon, likely intended for .plan files that didn't have proper icons.
Early Hook Hat
gamedata/lbp3/misc/mesh/hook_hat/hook_hat_icon.tex is a Popit icon showing an earlier version of the Hook Hat powerup.
Unused Pin Graphics
Negative Space Pin
gamedata/texture_library/ui/pins/lbp3/pin_negative_space.tex is an unused Pin graphic depicting a dark blue cube floating in space. Leftover language data suggests that to unlock this Pin, you would have to finish the level Deep Space Drive-in using no more than one powered cube. Fulfilling this requirement doesn't appear to do anything, however.
Team Picked Pin
gamedata/texture_library/ui/pins/lbp3/pin_team_picked.tex is an alternate design for the Team Picked Pin that would've been awarded if your level or adventure got featured in LBP3's Team Picks section. The final game just awards you the Team Picked Pin from LittleBigPlanet 2 instead.
Miscellaneous
Football Toggle Normal Maps
gamedata/lbp3/dlc/football/costumes/players contains two normal maps for a Brazilian football player costume for Toggle, icons for which were briefly seen in the Gamescom 2014 trailer. These are the only remnants of the costume on PlayStation 3, as the rest of its files were completely removed. All of the files are fully intact in the PlayStation 4 version, albeit still unused.
Water Caustics Animation
Found in gamedata/lbp3/_4_bunkum/fx decorations/caustics are a model and texture for an unused water caustics effect. Unlike a similar decoration seen in the SpongeBob SquarePants Premium Level Kit, this is comprised of a looping 16 frame animation, and it's possible to change its colours if placed onto a colour-tweakable material.

crosscontroller.tex
gamedata/dynamic_elements contains screenshots of all the themes from LittleBigPlanet and five of the themes from LittleBigPlanet 2, most likely intended for use in the in-game store. A screenshot for the Cross-Controller Pack can also be found, which goes unused because Cross-Controller functionality was removed from LittleBigPlanet 3.
Unused Stickers
DO NOT USE!
A texture that boldly stands out to warn the developers to...not use it. A handful of unused stickers were replaced by this graphic in the PS4 version.

gamedata/lbp3/th_05jacobs_well/stickers contains stickers for a car blueprint. The most interesting aspect is the early LittleBigPlanet 3 logo in the top left corner of the icons.
Adventure Planet
gamedata/lbp3/__book1/stickers/objects_adventure_planet.tex is a stylised planet very reminiscent of Manglewood.
OddSock Star
gamedata/lbp3/__book2/stickers/decorative_oddsock_star.tex is an OddSock Star inspired by the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Only the Swoop Star is used.
Stitchem Map
gamedata/lbp3/__book1/stickers/signage_stitchemmap2.tex is a darkened version of the PS4 version's splash screen. Its filename suggests that it was originally a map of Stitchem.
Early Popit Academy Projector Slide
Added in Game Update 1.06, gamedata/lbp3/misc/stickers/204.tex is an early projector image intended for the Popit Academy. It seems to have been intended for a tutorial about shifting objects between layers.
Bird Egg
gamedata/lbp3/__book1/stickers/_quest_stickers/object_bird_egg.tex is a blue bird egg, and is the only sticker in the _quest_stickers folder. This was replaced with the placeholder "DO NOT USE" graphic in the PS4 version.
Early SpongeBob DLC Music Icons
| To do: What episodes are the placeholders from? |
gamedata/lbp3/dlc/spongebob/music_icons contains placeholder music icons from the SpongeBob SquarePants Premium Level Kit, which look as though they were taken from the show. All of these were changed to include either Sackboy, OddSock or Toggle.
Shanty Town
| Unused | Used |
|---|---|
|
|
The early music icon for Shanty Town is a stock photo with various SpongeBob characters dotted around. This was changed to Sackboy driving a Boatmobile outside of SpongeBob's house.
Hula Baloo
| Unused | Used |
|---|---|
|
|
The early icon for Hula Baloo is a still image of Jellyfish Fields which appears to have been sourced from an episode of the show. The one that's actually used has Sackboy swimming next to a jellyfish.
Krabby Patty
| Unused | Used |
|---|---|
|
|
The early icon for Krabby Patty shows the outside of the Krusty Krab, taken from the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video". The one that's used has OddSock inside of a Krabby Patty.
Let's Be Chums
| Unused | Used |
|---|---|
|
|
The early icon for Let's Be Chums has Plankton standing outside of the Chum Bucket. This was changed to Toggle swinging across what appears to be a vat of acid.
