I began my addon making by doing simple retextures of uniforms for GRAW1 and after ArmA was released, though I would give it a try in a different platform. After some time I decided I wanted to bring GRAW weapons to ArmA so I set out learning how to make addons.  I learned from some of the best -  Dasquade, Eubud , Panda, and Jonny all had insturmental roles in the development of my skills.
