Unreal Engine 5 Cinematic Title Sequence | Yi Jing 意境 S2

Hello fellow Unreal Engine Creators!

I wanted to share with you a cinematic title sequence I created in Unreal Engine 5 for Season 2 of the Yi Jing 意境 performance series.

All smoke simulations, animation, lighting, and camera movement were produced directly in Unreal Engine and using Niagara volumetric smoke. Some assets were modeled in Blender, and the main female character was created with MetaHuman, featuring customized makeup and tattoos applied in Substance Painter.

The sequence was designed to foreshadow the themes of the upcoming season, including its locations, mood, music, and mysterious atmosphere.

Software used:

  • Unreal Engine 5 (Sequencer, Niagara)

  • MetaHuman Creator

  • Blender

  • Substance Painter

  • DaVinci Resolve

Let me know your thoughts and feel free to share feedback on it, I am always looking for ways to improve myself and my work!
