Om Raut's mythological saga Adipurush, based on Ramayana, had its first teaser revealed on October 2. However, the promo of the grand epic left many disappointed, as they had high expectations for CGI standards from the film and were irked by the animation shown in the teaser. A Twitter user who goes by the handle @DZatakia and claims to be a hobby VFX artist tries to explain why the VFX of the Adipurush teaser feels underwhelming, and his Twitter thread went viral.

#Adipurush CGI is BAD, really Bad. As an hobby VFX artist, I'll breakdown what went wrong in detail. Single biggest reason is OVER CONFIDENCE. Here's what I mean by it. pic.twitter.com/JfVgG5LkHK

No 'Outdoor Locations' Used
First of all, the makers and their VFX advisors stupidly decided to film the entire movie on a sound stage. Yes, the entire movie is shot inside a sound stage infront of blue screen without any sets or outdoor location. This was a blunder, I'll explain why.

Making Movies With CGI is Very Difficult
In VFX world, making the movie completely with CGI is difficult, really difficult even for top tier Hollywood movies. Only movies ever to execute such mammoth task correctly in the history are The jungle book, The lion king , Avatar and few other movies

What Exactly is the Budget?
#Adipurush was competing directly with such movies which had a budget of $250 Million whereas Adipursh has a budget of around 250 crore in my opinion ( yes, 500 crore number is fake most likely ). That's around $30 million.

Benefit of Using 'Real Environment'
So when you have limited budget, you try to shoot on real location and environment. But makers thought of the opposite. In real environment, the work of VFX team reduces by 50% directly as they don't have to create the virtual environment.

What Went Wrong...
You also get real lighting and you can use HDRI for lighting the scene. This makes it photoreal in the first place. But it didn't happen. Makers shot completely in the studio so already less VFX budget gets divided. 50% for environment and 50% for animation, simulation etc

Aimed Too High While on a Shaky Ground?
If it was any other superhero movie, you can make it good looking looking for 150 crore budget but a movie which has an army of mocap monkeys, monsters, dragons, flying people, water and fire simulation, and destructions, you cannot make it with 300 crore budget.

The Right Budget to Get the Best Visual Appeal?
It will take around 1500 crore to make such movie and that too can be done only by few VFX studios in the world like ILM, WETA, DD, MPC and DNEG.

What Might Have Worked...
In conclusion, the makers were over confident, ignorant and stupid to make this film. If I was in their place, I would have shot in real environment and sets, reduce animal usage, use VFX very smartly only where it was absolutely required, modify the script accordingly

Benefit of Hiring Good VFX Supervisor
Also would have hired one good VFX supervisor. A right VFX supervisor can make a good movie with VFX even in low budget. But I think they didn't hire properly. Instead of paying 100 crore to actors, pay 10 crore to the supervisor. He will change the movie completely
