Organisers had warned about traffic disruption in the area and limited parking. The display started modestly with spotlights on the building picking out silhouettes of Belfast's landmarks.
Belfast Lord Mayor Niall O'Donnghaile said: "It is another huge event in a series of huge events for Belfast in 2012." Then 3D projections of beams moving and cogs whirling told the story of the ship being built.
People attending the light show were advised to plan their journey and take advantage of the various public transport arrangements that had been put in place by Translink. From the creation of the great ship, the display moved on to represent the fully finished ship.
Free Metro shuttle buses left Chichester Street for Titanic Slipways from 19:30 BST and from Donegall Square South for the Albert Quay. An almost full-size Titanic appeared to rise up from the very place where it was built.
Forty engineers from the arts and technology company Seeper, took six months to design and install the display.
The crowds gathered at Albert Quay applauded.
The event was organised by Belfast City Council and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board who said it had been a great success.
