ADVFX PLUS - ADVANCED VISUAL EFFECTS COURSE

Were you surprised by the action sequences of Krrish 3 & Ra.One? Did you imagine being in space while watching Gravity or on the battle field in 300: Rise of an Empire? These were the result of visual effects (VFX) technology and VFX artists. VFX is the integration of live - action and computer generated imagery to create environments, which look realistic and believable to the audiences.
