Ulduar has always been one of my favorite raids in World of Warcraft - an ancient titan complex packed with colossal architecture, mysterious machinery, corrupted Keepers, and some of the most iconic encounters from Wrath of the Lich King. Our goal was to reimagine this legendary raid as a large-scale cinematic experience - something I had wanted to do since the raid was released in 2009. I’d like to thank Kruithne and Marlamin for creating *wow.export* - an essential tool that allowed us to access the necessary in-game models, as well as Phorge for his extensive modeling work. The finished trailer features 95 shots, compared with 53 in the Black Temple trailer and 57 in the Naxxramas trailer. It was rendered on four RTX 4090s over the past 2 months, and the total production time was 1 year and 9 months. *Disclaimer:* This is a fan-made project and is not affiliated with the official Classic or Anniversary servers. *MP4 Download (IMAX format included):* https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IA9IMrd_afIVvFHD5x10rd6F2Uw5E873?usp=sharing *Music:* Tellent Studio - Infinity Call Tenacious Orchestra - Rebellions Tenacious Orchestra - Strike Force Cataclysm Classic Announce Trailer Soundtrack Warlords of Draenor Soundtrack - Times Change Mark Fabian - Unfortunate Events *Tools used:* Cinema 4D / Octane / After Effects / Houdini / Photoshop / EmberGen / LiquiGen / Blender / ZBrush / Substance 3D Painter / wow.export / Model Viewer / Quixel Megascans / Artlist / PremiumBeat / VS Code *Special credits:* Phorge: https://www.artstation.com/phorge My3DPrintForge: https://www.patreon.com/c/my3dprintforge/home Kruithne: https://www.kruithne.net/wow.export/ DoctorDisco: https://www.instagram.com/_djvertigo/ MotionNova: https://www.instagram.com/motion_nova/ Mandis @SirThompshire #wow #wrathofthelichking #ulduar

Blizzard yelling at their employees: "He made this in a CAVE with a box of SCRAPS!"
That has to be one of the best WoW cinematic I've ever seen ! Congrats on the impressive work !
As usual, outstanding work. Clicked on this immediately and went to the nearest empty room at work to watch
I stopped playing this game back in Cataclysm...yet here I am, thirsting for hurricane content. YOU keep the WoW I LOVED alive. Thank you
I remember getting goosebumps when I saw King Terenas scold Arthas in the ICC trailer. I cannot wait to see how you nail that
4:44 Algalon sent Reply-Code:Omega. So, Raid failed to stop him in 1 hour XD
"CITIZENS OF DALARAN, RAISE YOUR EYES TO THE SKY AND OBSERVE!"
Always a good day when hurricane uploads
this is what we get when bro gets time to cook and isn't rushed
I love how these trailers show an army of people going at these raids. Like there are specifics groups each taking care of a target and going to support the next group when one is taken down.
For me, this was the moment wow peaked. God I love this raid.
We ALL waiting that Blizzard is ask Hurricane to create a World of Warcraft movie.
3:30 Kerrigan refference? )
Thats a pretty nice nod to Sarah Kerrigan inthe SC2 cinematic at 3:30 .... Amazing vid as always
"Hurricane delivers" is an old and accurate saying of our civilisation.
No lie, this might be the best one he's ever done, and that's saying something. This reminded me so much why Wrath is my favorite of all the expansions and I always love how real he makes the encounters feel. Showing the dozens of characters charging into the halls together feels exactly like how it would really go down in universe. Incredible job as always.
3:31 reminds me Sarrah Kerrigan from her betrayal cinematic from SC2 EDIT: i just noticed sniper rifle on the ground so it is indeed reference to her 😁
Masterpiece...20/10...no notes... But also showcasing different shield blocks - LOVED THAT
Yes, we all INSTANTLY clicked on this, And you didn't disappoint 👏👏👏👏
The Ashes of A'lar fly-by was fantastic. Brought chills.
