Welcome to the home of the Big Dave C.
These pages will give you an insight into how the brain of this mysterious creature works. A very small insight. People who have know the Big Dave C for 3 decades have had less of an insight than you, lucky viewer.
The Big Dave C's brain has a tendency to wander all over the world of creativity, stop for a while, pick up a little knowledge and understanding and then drop it all and shove off somewhere else. It doesn't sit still for long (unlike the Big Dave C himself).
He has ventured into the lands of singing, comedy, art, computer graphics and even video production. The only thing that has remained constant with all of these visits is the amount of cheese that the Big Dave C has managed to inject. And, believe me, it's a lorra lorra cheese.
The quickest way to gain any insight of the current state of the BDC's brain is to check out the blog. There you will find news of his recent adventures, thoughts and other such rubbish.
We hope you enjoy your stay.

Making Faces
Here’s how I’m doing with my practice at making faces in Blender. I started with some photos I found on the ‘net. You can see those in a previous entry. But now I’ve moved on to a self portrait and modelling the faces of friends. And I can honestly say, the more I do, the [...]

Making head ways.
I’m really enjoying making 3D head models at the moment. After the whole edge-loop thing clicked in my mind, it just became a lot easier to do. This WIP is a model of one of my fellow Blender Underground members. All made with Blender. Step One In Step One, I’ve modelled the whole face but still need [...]

Snowy Enfield Photographs
It’s been a very snowy January here in Enfield (just north of London, UK). I drive past this park on my school run every day and keep seeing the bandstand with snow on the roof. Today, before the snow disappeared, I decided to get some pictures. I’m quite proud of them. Won’t you have a look?

A face, textured, animated, hairy.
Made entirely with Blender. The skin has SSS. The hair is partical hair. The eyes have refraction through the cornea. Everything could be better but I like it. A face, textured And it looks REALLY weird animated:

My 3D Self-Portrait Trophy
Now that I’ve got to grips with face modeling in Blender, I thought I deserved a trophy. So, I took a couple of pictures of me, modeled my face and created this trophy. Yay, me! 3D Self-Portrait Trophy

Changing faces
Over the years I have tried, on occasion, to model a realistic face. I’ve had varying degrees of success leading up to this, my first decent face model. All the loops are right. All the proportions are right. Well, as far as I can tell, they’re right. This is what it looks like: A face And here’s what [...]

Building a teacup ain’t so easy
I love using Blender but every so often I do manage to find something I can’t do with it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t do it. It simply means I can’t figure out how. What I wanted to do in this case was explode an object using the explode modifier then, somehow, get blender to [...]

Amazing 3D car animation made by one man
I’m sure it’s quite well known that I’m an avid fan of Blender. However, this does not lead me to ignore the quality produced from other 3D softwares. Especially when it involves incredible talent and great entertainment. A man going by the name of Pantural on YouTube has created this animation of car models which, to [...]

Snowman stuck to lamp post
