Main


Welcome to the Art of Waylon Brinck. I've got all the information divided up into six sections.

Main - This page.
Artwork - A collection of 2d and 3d art I've created, along with tutorials and other projects.
Photos - Some photos I've taken.
About - Learn more about me, and what I do with my time.

Updates:

January 31, 2010 - Looks like I've been neglecting this Updates page! Lots of new stuff going on:
January 13, 2008 - I'm teaching a class on Unreal Editor 3, and writing tutorials that go along with it. Those tutorials can be found here.

December 12, 2007 - Photos from a road trip, Los Angeles to San Francisco, August 2007.

November 18, 2007 - New, misc shots.

August 4, 2006 - Night shots.

May 21, 2006 - Big mix of photos. Also (and I didn't post them on the main site), I've got some photos from E3 2006

February 8, 2006 - New photos from a quarry in Flagstaff, Arizona.

February 2, 2006 - More new photos here. Las Vegas and Milwaukee goodness.

Oh, and look what I'm working on. :)



Level artist on the new Medal of Honor game. Woohoo!

December 3, 2005 - New photos here! Remember how I said I was getting a 20d? Well I lied. I got the super duper even more awesome 5d instead. This thing rocks so hardcore, I can't believe I haven't posted more. :)

September 28, 2005 - I got a job! I'm now a "Background Artist" at Electronic Arts! Should be very cool, and I'll finally have a chance to tie my photography in with my work. (You can only do so much with abandoned building reference on a space game.) I start on Monday. Wieeee! (Oh, I ordered a new camera too, as a self-congratulatory present. Yay for my 20d!)

August 16, 2005 - Apparently my site updates have become quarterly.... Let's see what's new! I've moved to Los Angeles, for one thing. You can see my road trip pictires here if you're interested (though they're mostly goofing off, so I didn't add them to my photo page.) My camera broke promptly upon arriving to the city, which is unfortunate, but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a major upgrade soon so it's all good. Uhh, I'm in the middle of apartment hunting and that's a pain in the ass. I did a fairly major overhaul of the site, removed some old artwork, and added some new stuff - all my non-photo art is now under one page here. Also I'm getting a pretty good tan. Yay California!

April 25, 2005 - Big News! I've begun work on a new video game, entitled Quarantine: Total Zombie Apocalypse. It's a post-apocalyptic zombie horror title, sort of a Dawn of the Dead meets Mad Max. And of course many of the locations will be reminiscent of what you can find in my photography. Check it out!. Incidentally, we're building everything from scratch, so if you're an artist, programmer, or anyone else interested in the game industry, contact me about joining the team!

March 2, 2005 - New update to my UVW Mapping Tutorial. Not a very major update, it just covers what's new in Max 7. But it's exciting anyway, I swear!

January 6, 2005 - Old and New pictures today.

December 28, 2004 - Fire today!

December 17, 2004 - New photos here!

August 30, 2004 - I streamlined the site's interface this weekend. Hope you like it!

August 20, 2004 - I got an infrared filter for my camera. Check out my first IR photo gallery here.

August 12, 2004 - Woops, I've been forgetting to update this page. New photo set from a trip to the abandoned Pabst Brewery.

March 23, 2004 - I'm starting in again on some new workshop projects. Check them out Here.

March 12, 2004 - New photos! Or.... well, photos from January that I finally got to post. Here!

February 22, 2004 - Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been keeping myself VERY busy lately, and I have lots of new art and photos that I haven't uploaded yet. But what's new for now is that I've updated my UVW Mapping tutorial. I rewrote some sections that weren't particularly clear, expanded on a section that I thought needed more in-depth treatment, and most significantly, included a link to download the mesh used in the tutorial, so that you can have an easier time following along. (I'm still worried that it'll do more harm than good. But we'll see!)

December 08, 2003 - More new galleries, night and day in the same part of town. Here and here.

October 23, 2003 - I made a banner. If anyone wants to link to me, you can use this:



October 13, 2003 - Two new galleries. Abandoned Industrial and Normal Industrial. Actually, I uploaded the "normal industrial" gallery two weeks ago, but I forgot to mention it here. I bet no one noticed.

September 20, 2003 - I took pictures of bees! Check 'em out here!

August 19, 2003 - As of earlier this summer, I'm participating in a weekly photography activity. You can see the results here!

June 19, 2003 - Ack! A hard drive crash wiped out the site. I think I've got everything pretty much rebuilt, but if you find any omissions, bad links, or any other problems, please let me know!

March 6, 2003 - New feature! I started a page where I can upload whatever miscellaneous photos I've taken lately. Check it out here.

February 23, 2003 - I went back to Gary, Indiana a few weeks ago, and finally had a chance to put the photos online. They can be found here. I also pruned the old gary galleries down into one, and added some commentary. You can find that gallery here.

February 6, 2003 - New gallery here, taken with my schmancy new Canon Powershot G3 at the Port of Milwaukee. Also added a new image and some text to the misc gallery.

January 25, 2003 - Minor edit of the UVW Mapping tutorial. Fixed a few typos, reworded a few sections for clarity, fixed obsolete links, and added extra example images. The changes are so small, I bet no one ever notices the difference!

January 21, 2003 - Minor update. I re-uploaded all the photos with a fancy new border, which includes this web site's url. What fun!

January 7, 2003 - New photos! And a bit of pruning... I merged the old Milwaukee Industrial galleries, retired a few images, and added a bit of commentary. And I added a whole new gallery, containing 46 images in total. Go check them out - they're in the photography section, up at the top. You can't miss 'em.

December 29, 2002 - Added a new gallery to the photography section. View the photos here!

August 30, 2002 - I wrote a tutorial on UVW-Mapping objects in 3D Studio Max 5. Check it out here!

June 20, 2002 - I updated my Asteroid Tutorial (usually found in the Art section of this page.) The content has stayed pretty much the same, but the tutorial is now in a much better format.

June 18, 2002 - I finally finished scanning and cleaning the 35mm photos I took of Gary, Indiana back in April. I'm still not too good with my film scanner (colors turn out strange), so I decided to go with black and white with most of these. More stylish this way, anyway. You can find the new images here.

May 01, 2002 - I added some new images to the Misc Photo Gallery. Enjoy!

April 11, 2002 - For some reason, my CGI was running incredibly slow. I converted everything over to plain old HTML. If you notice any problems (pages not loading, images missing, galleries in the wrong order), please let me know!

April 09, 2002 - Added two new photo galleries full of lots of lots of great industrial junk. Check them out in the "Photos" section.
