Thats very good for a basic elephant rig. I haven't animated it, but did get some idea to rig an elephant myself. Few suggestions : 1. have a toe and heel pivot for the feet. Animators would need that for a walkcycle.
2. for the trunk and the tail the ctrl's pivot point should rather be at the corresponding joint, so that the trunk/tail curl becomes more natural. (Could easily add a parent r s , instead of constraining it.)
3. Some FK controls for the spine could work well too.
Overall its a great great start!!and thanks for sharing man. Keep up the good work. waiting to see some more.
