I found this out a couple months ago when I posted it a product suggestion thread
I was shocked
rest in peace DR
His name was Raul Lunia. It is misspelled in the first post.
Some context for this thread might be helpful (because Google wasn't very cooperative when I Googled him). Apparently Raul Lunia was a vendor called Dinoraul at Renderosity who created dinosaur models. Renderosity did a tribute video for him:
he also made a lot of the dinosaurs at DAZ
all the ones with DR at the end of their names
Thanks for the video Diva, wasn;t aware they made this tribute. I have lots of his products with many more on my wishlist. He also made some great tree and plant models as well as dinos.
RIP and best wishes to his family
This is very sad news. He was a great artist, I loved his work.
Damn. He did beautiful work.
Ditto my fave go to person for trees etc. Will be sadly missed. Condolences to his family and loved ones.
I was trying to figure out this celebrity. Is this his web page?

It's cool!
RIP!
Oh, no! May he rest in peace. I have so many of his fine Dinosaurs and trees!
Extremely sad to hear! Dinoraul's creations always surprised me with that wild imagination being present in those, especially more "strange" ones.
We will not forget. Condolences to close & dear of DR...
Rest Well Raul! Thanks for your work.
Condolences to his family and friends
May he rest in peace. So sad - I do have a lot of his trees and some of his dinos ...
NO! Aww damn, I noticed he hadn't made a new product in a while and I was thinking and hoping that he had "graduated" to some big studio or something. That he died is the reason he stopped creating really saddens me.
He was a legend.
Crazy question, I was actually planning on buying some more of his products soon, does anyone know if the proceeds go to his family or something or how does that work?
You would have to ask that question over at Rendo.
RIP!
Really sorry to hear this.
do you have a list handy? I have quite a collection of his stuff by now but I'm wondering if I might be missing something.

And ChuckwallaDR ... which I can't find in the store anymore.
Awww... I loved his dinos on rendo.
RIP in peace sir and thanks for the dinos! :)
This is so sad; I always loved his dinos (and have a LOT of them) and nature items!
... had been wondering why I hadn't seen anything by him lately - this is pretty much the most depressing answer! A great artist...
Rest In Peace, Raul
His dinos are classic.
RIP
I bought a ton of his tree models - just the best!
This is just terrible news, I heard rumors of his death a month ago here but could find no mention of it on Rendo, so I assumed it was just that... rumors! Then I noticed he hasn't released anything in about a year, so I knew that is not a good sign. He and Sixus were my 2 favorite creature / monster creators when I first started with Poser 11 years ago, I couldn't beleive the amount of talent these men had and that I could acutally buy their creations, pose and then render them was just incredible, he will be greatly missed indeed.
Very sad. I have lots of his dinosaurs and always looked forward to a new one. Will be sadly missed.
Our community keeps losing so many classic vendors from the early 2000's... so sad!

Raul Lunia had been making (and collecting) dinosaurs since the age of 4 in Estonia.
He was born August 3, 1961, and died October 25, 2019 at age 58.
Cause of death: cardiac arrest, in coma for almost 4 months...
Thank you for all of your great contributions, Dinoraul.
Rest in peace...
