Almost no other animal enjoys such popularity as the elephant. Admired for its majestic size and loved for its proverbial good-humour, it is part of our everyday experience as a child's cuddly toy, a storybook character and a majestic creature. Charles and Ray Eames also succumbed to their charms and in 1945 designed a toy elephant made of plywood. However, it never made it into mass production. The Eames elephant is now available for the first time in a plastic version for those it was originally intended for: children.
Except the max files everything is in low-poly mode (824 polygons). In the max file, the meshsmooth's are instanced, so you can easily adjust the polygon count. The viewport iteration is 1, so in the viewport you can only see 3274 polys.
