Days Adrift | Unreal Engine 5.4 Environmental Cinematic | Substrate, Lumen & Nanite

My latest exploration in Substrate, Lumen & Nanite "Days Adrift" is now finished!

Heavily based on UNIT IMAGE's "Beyond The Aquila Rift" Love Death and Robots episode, Days Adrift explores a High Poly Houdini - Nanite pipeline, as well as being the first project I've tackled using the new Substrate material system from start to finish, allowing for much better metallic blending as well as much improved translucencies.

Every shot here is running with Hardware Lumen, with the exception of the first and last shots (exterior space shots) which were path traced.

Used UE5-Main for this project so basically 5.4/5.5 features.

Fluid sim is using JangaFX's LiquiGen Alpha.

All Texturing was done in Substance Painter.

This project is also a nice showcase of my recently released Cinematic Lens Flares for Unreal Engine.

The various Holographic UI elements were created for me by Luke Harris & Sound was sourced from FreeSound.
