Lair fan boys get ready to drive down to Sunnyvale, CA on June 2. Factor 5 in conjunction with Cogswell Polytechnical College will be showing off concept art from the PS3 video game Lair which is due out any time now. Members from Factor 5 will be presenting concept art and also talk about the making of Lair. It all kicks off on June 2, starting at 12:30 at the Open House.

Current Schedule:

• Cogswell Open House 12:30 – 3:00 – Learn about degree Programs at Cogswell
• Forum with Factor 5 3:00 – 4:30 – Making of Lair
• Gallery Reception 4:30 – 6:30 – Look behind the scenes at the artwork from Lair

The exhibit will continue from June 2 till July 27 at Cogswell but if you want to hear members from Factor 5 talk about the making I suggest you head down June 2nd. I know most of these guys personally and this is something not to be missed, especially if your looking for a career in videos games.

One of my buddies Pat’s work will be shown at this exhibit so stop by his blog and give him a shout here.

One of my good friends who works for Factor5 spoke at the latest Game Developer Conference (GDC) about “Creating Next-Generation Materials for Lair”. This presentation gives you a bit of incite on the next generation of game development and the directions the top developers are going in order to create great visuals for you gamers.

This is more of a technical presentation geared towards artist but if you have any interest in game development its worth checking out the PDF that Matthias Worch released recently.

BTW this screen shot the full 1080p was hidden somewhere in the presentation.
