I just noticed at the Sony Store on my PS3, that in the top downloads is a free theme from the creates of Lair, this new theme is entitled Lair: Asylian and is a great new addition to my ps3 background. I have some screen shots from the various themes you can add in, not to mention a lot of cool icons come with this theme.

Here is a quote from the playstation blog site.

“Lair: Asylian Theme (free)
Customize your PS3 system with a cool Lair: Asylian theme. This theme allows you to change up the look of your background and XMB icons.”

Kudo’s goes out to Factor 5

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.

Screen Grab from Presentation

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.
