TORII - Project Insights

This short video, Torii, was my first project in Unreal Engine.
I started by blocking out the environment, then placed assets, set up the lighting to match the atmosphere, and animated the camera to simulate a person walking in first-person view. The will-o’-the-wisp effect was created using Niagara Particles.

 

The scene takes place from a first-person perspective when a will-o’-the-wisp suddenly appears. It guides the player through several torii gates to a shrine, where it finally comes to a stop. In the end, a creepy laugh can be heard.
