Meet Big Grampa
G'day! I'm Big Grampa, the veteran DayZ modder and creator behind DZ Academy. With years of experience in the DayZ community, I've built custom maps, created hundreds of tutorials, and helped thousands of modders bring their visions to life.
My YouTube channel, Grampa's DayZ Channel, features in-depth tutorials on everything from Terrain Builder basics to creating complete custom maps in under 2 hours. I'm a Steam Workshop contributor with popular creations like Residential Aussie Houses and the Object Showroom.
My mission is simple: make DayZ modding accessible and fun for everyone—from complete beginners taking their first steps to experienced modders pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Whether you're building your first terrain or mastering advanced RVMat systems, I'm here to guide you through it.
