Did you say that I find so ething accurate only bacause I liked it?

This art is accurate and is gorgeous (to me). Now I have found many inaccuracues in the Saurian T. rex, but I still find it gorgeous.

what was Innacurate about the saurian t-rex?

(apart from the head being too thin)

The corwn of the upper jaw's teeth is to short, about 2/3 the lengh of what is seen in real specimens.

Also the juvenile T. rex shows to long lacrimal horns, while even specimens that are considered to be nanotyrannus specimens by many people have short lacrimal horns (or were found without it).
The reason the teeth aren't as long is because most of the tooth you see in skeletons wouldn't have been visible. They would have been either within the socket or beneath gums. Saurian T. rex is the most accurate depiction of T. rex in media.

Actually this is the definition of tooth crowns and this is what I meant. I actually found out that the tooth crowns are indeed accurately sized, but Saurian's T. rex continues to have some few minor innacuracies: the lower lips are placed to high on the lower jaw and the upper lips would easily pierce trough the gum like tissue like that. In order for teeth covering lips to work, the upper lips should be longer, covering the upper teeth even when the mouth was open, and the lower lips being placed lower on the jaw like this d3qi0qp55mx5f5.cloudfront.net/… www.wired.com/wp-content/uploa… (I know these are not T. rex reconstructions. I am just comparing). But unfortunately Saurian's modeller pays little to no attention to how teeth covering lips should work. Also if you take a front look at it's head, you will see that the snout is to thin if we compare it even to the specimen that inspired the model (Stan).

These mistakes, however, are not seen in TSL's T. rex. So if it did not show those spike like scales on it's neck I would say that TSL's T. rex, depending on the skin shown, would be more accurate.

wait, wasn't the teeth short because of this? www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs…

the blackish part of the teeth might be the only part showing and a paper did say that the teeth were pushed farther outside the skull

but if it is innacurate maybe they'll give their model a few tweaks?

"wait, wasn't the teeth short because of this? www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs…" I talked about the crown of the upper jaw's teeth, that si different in appearence from the root. If you take a colse look at these www.ohio.edu/people/witmerl/co… static.bhigr.com/store/files/p… you can see that the blackish part (it probably is different in color due to the fact that it was exposed) is more curved than the root.

"but if it is innacurate maybe they'll give their model a few tweaks?" I have said this many times on Urgovel Game's facebook page and they did not give a shit, so it is unlikely that they will fix this.

In what way is it "inaccurate?"
Templar-Dragonknight's avatar
Saurian or the raptor?

The Deinonychus, I see nothing wrong with it.

There is nothing wrong. It is 100% accurate as far as I know. I just said that unlike many people I know that something may be gorgeous and innacurate at the same time.
