Dinoraul was a very big part of my childhood. I was fascinated with his models that I would see everywhere. They were some of the best dinosaur models out there. When I eventually learned who made them, he had already passed away. RIP Raul, you were a real one.
I used tk hate these models when I was younger because they were inaccurate. but now looking back, these are actually good and plus they give a great sense of nostalgia
@@matijasostojic4288 you should still appreciate them as works of art. I bought a Taschen book on Paleo Art with lots of innacurate and dated representations of dinosaurs and they are all beautiful.
His designs are so goated, the colors work really nicely and are proportioned incredibly well. His Rex and Spino models will always be iconic to me. It's a real tragedy that he's no longer with us
11:45 I still remember how Deinocheirus used to be portrayed as a giant Struthiomimus back when there weren't enough fossils for a more complete reconstruction around. All of my dinosaur books portray it like that as well and to be honest seeing it kinda makes me feel a little nostalgic...
His art's not even bad, it's just that by the time it became widely used alot of the stuff was outdated (shrinkwrapping, feathers, proportions fat and mass etc etc.) His models are very great for the time they were made, and you can see a definite improvement on his return in 2015. I have no doubt that if he were still around his art would be pretty fantastic. Overall he seems like a super nice guy who contributed to alot of our childhoods. Glad to know he lived his dream in the end
It's a shame I would only wonder about him and get to know a little better after he passed away. I like his trajectory on life, being deditacted to what he loves, I also love animais and sculptures and actually have donated some, him being an introvert and creating some fantastical weird critters also makes him feel relatable, I hope he has a good life with his animals in his yard. Farewell Dinoraul, I hope wherever you are all kind of animals are at your side
I have something to say, for the same reasons that you have seen these illustrations since I was little, and that is why I have always loved these illustrations, they are so clean and beautiful, they are nostalgic for me, and now that I finally know that you made them, I just thank you for showing me and I thank Dino Raul for making them, hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Have you ever considered doing a video about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs? There's a lot of material to cover from the comics to the cartoon and even a video game.
The most nostalgic dinosaur recreation ever. They helped make me the dinosaur loving man I am today. Thank you Raul, for making dinosaurs and creating the most iconic versions of dinosaurs in I believe in history.
What nice way to honor this artist, Diego. I appreciate you bringing this all up. I never knew these models were created by one man. Learning about their history and about him was was actually really wholesome and surprising. I’m glad I got to hear it from you. Sad to hear of his passing, but his work and legacy continues to live on, and you’re a part of it. Thanks!
his art was so good for its time i remember playing a game with that same trex model and thinking i was gonna be able to play as it and when i downloaded it i was so bummed out 😂
I used to think his dinosaur 3D art is ugly but that because I have yet to look at his art properly, turns out he just have his own style and it is actually beautiful, just in a different way and thank you for shedding light about everything significant related to this man because now my questions about him is answered definitely
i’ve always seen these models, also loved the book called Dinosaur Record Breakers. their definitely not as bad models as the ones in nearly every mobile game
Speaking of mobile games, I remember a nostalgic game called "Find them all: dinosaurs" on android. This kid game used Raul's models, and i liked ot when i was 4 to 7 years old. I grew up with it , even when Raul passed out and i didnt knew this. R.I.P Raul Lunia, you won't be forgotten. (also now , KNBmedia uses lower quality models for the successor of the game, called "4d kids explorer")
Dude this is the video I never knew I needed. I had a look at some of my old dinosaur books and some of them have mostly Dinoraul's models. Nostalgic af.
This video help me improved my understanding of these common Paleo Images I would see a lot in books websites and some Jurassic Park/World ripe offs. Thank You.
"Not award worthy or something " Excuse me but WHAT?? His work is absolute cream of the crop for the time of release. Even today many models are holding up perfectly.
Very interesting, almost everyone in the paleo circle should be familiar with this art, but I never considered its origins. His renders show their age as they are clearly very 2000s in CGI quality, but it's come full-circle to be recognized as a distinct art style now, and his work will certainly live on.
I remember seeing that Spinosaurus in a book I had once! Even if now the majority of his models are scientifically inaccurate now, those digital pieces with the vegetation and some with striking lighting are beautiful. If he were still alive, Raul would for sure have continued to make dinosaur models and probably update on ones he'd already made with new digital pieces. It sounds like he did his best to be up to date on how dinosaurs looked. He also honestly sounds like someone who would have been really cool to talk to. I too would like a yard full of animals someday.
Discovering this a year late, but there actually was a toyline called diniwaurs in (2010?) these Minifigures were sold in blind bags and we're heavily inspired by dinoraul renders!
When I was a child, I often watch strange animations used with Dinoraul’s 3D models on TH-cam like a T-Rex eating a girl and I had no idea of what these people are coming up with
I loved these models! I'd see them everywhere but I never knew where they had come from. Another set of models I liked were the ones used in DK books, the later ones.
Interesting niche video and it's lovely that we're all able to recognize the art style! Dinoraul! Great presentation, appreciate your work! Thank you for sharing! :-)
I'd really like to see you do Dino-Riders. It was one of the things that got me interested in dinosaurs, and the toys apparently were so up to date with our understanding of dinosaurs at that time that several were put in the Smithsonian.
As of right now, I thought these models were cringe due to their low accuracies in my point of view. But now after I see this video I start to appreciate the same T. rex design we see all over the place. Also same rule with the spinosaurus.
I would love more videos on classic and iconic paleoart. May I suggest Steve Kirk's illustrations next? All my favourite childhood dinobooks used his illustrations which were very good for the time (between the 90s and early 2000s) and he also showed lots of love to many niche species and non-dinosaurs.
OMG SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME QUESTION AS ME LOL.I remembered buying stickers of these and collecting them,they were my childhood,so nostalgic,I also loved the design as they look shiny,making them look like “toys”
Great video, I didn't know much about these overused but still decent models before this. The rex especially is pretty much only rivaled by the Papo t.rexes in terms of overuse.
He gave infinite monkeys infinite typewriters, not everyone used them to make the works of Shakespeare but that doesn't mean the typewriters where defective
Those models were a big part of my childhood whenever I went to the library to get dinosaur books I would always see those models in the books this legend will be remembered I loved those models a lot and I still do
I've always liked a good chunk of his Dinosaur and Pterosaur models, not all of them of course. Ignoring the fact his stuff is absolutely everywhere I never understood the hate. A lot of them have pleasing designs. I adore his Deinonychus, probably my favorite of his.
The models being used for those productions were not stolen, you know renderosity is mainly used as a storefront for models that you can use in your own productions, the gallery function is mostly secondary to showcase your store products more He wouldn't have sold his items both in renderosity and the DAZ store if he didn't want productions like those, you know you could highlight that you can still go to his store and buy his models for your own renders and his family will still get paid probably, they are pretty cheap too like $16 a pop that's probably why so many crappy productions used those models instead of more "professional" options that can cost hundreds of dollars Also check out Herschel Hoffmeyer for a more recent dude making and selling dino models, although his designs are a little more out there
I had an encyclopedia with his spinosaurus... Actually, aside from the fact that the Dinoraul's images are so overused that it's annoying, these art are actually pretty good. Yes, his early animal reconstructions were a little outdated, but they have interesting poses and angles, and well-chosen compositions. There are no complaints at all about the more later works.
