Are Hummers good in renderings?

NO HUMMERS

NO FERRARIS

NO CARS IN FOREGROUND...

 

...vehicle-ism...

 

OH! Guilty! nicnic seems to be listing my comments as evidence against me, Tom reads the indictment.

 

Guilty. Sentence? Perhaps having to put a red Ferrari in every rendering I do for 3-5 years, including residential interiors. I guess I need more clients in Greenwich, CT., a town I was recently in for work and noticed a Ferrari dealer on one side of the street and an Aston Martin dealer on the other. Rough town.

 

People, skies vehicles, etc. should not be distracting from your subject, they should compliment and help define your subject.

I think it depends on the context. Right now I would say no because it's

a worn cliche. When it first came out it was totally cool because it was a converted military vehicle and because it was so different. The fact that it was for the military gave it a true aura of down and dirty "form follows function".

 

But now with it's commercialization and worn off novelty it would be detrimental to a rendering I think.

 

But when it first came out - in a cool hip environment, say for a Donald Trump Casino or something - it would have contributed positively to the desired ambiance.

You mean the original Hummer? I remember dotcoms in the Boston area using them as company cars back in the late 90s when it was cool to show off extravagance. The H2 has never been cool - it's always been for suburbanites who thought it was cooler than a minivan, but really it looks like a "short bus".
