VFX Technology
Besides those beautiful destinations, they made good use of VFX technology, creating landscapes that look like out of this world. In recent times, CGI technology has become prevalent in the movie industry, mostly due to prices going down. That’s why even movies such as Bahubali decided to implement some of these techniques that enrich the scenery of the film. Here is the VFX Breakdown of ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ by Makuta VFX.
