I remember what she said about it. It was something like, "The texture looks like he rolled around in kodo hide and stood in the sun for too long."

 

[Devine]

Yeah .... that was awesome.

 

[Kalashnikov]

why the hell is everyone's avatar like that and with signature "Glory to Mother Russia!"?

 

[Hawkwing]

This is not the place to ask that.

the ears are too small and makes it look like some mutated animal and not an elephant at all.
the bum also has to be bigger

It's not an elephant. Also, Elekks don't even have ears. I was just too lazy to remove them.

 

[Just_Spectating]

im pretty sure Elekks are based on elephants.

ok so they dont have ears, but it should still be like,

Lovely model 5/5

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Why is everyone russian?
Nice model you got there!

 

[HappyCockroach]

Although this animal is so ugly, the model is well-made.
But such a big filesize is unacceptable.

 

[de_squall]

Big animal require a big file size
Mwahahaha
Too big buddy
Even for an elephant thingy
But it was a really nice model. No doubt for it.
10/10

 

[Hawkwing]

The filesizes are exactly the same, excluding custom skins.

 

[IgnominiouZ]

Tooooo big.

 

[nickel510]

Smaller sized version

I had the same dilema as a lot of people posting here. I wanted this model, for my map Draenor RISK, but I couldn't justify importing such a large model. So, I tried just using the skin over a mammoth with some success but it wasn't usable. I then made a request that someone make the skin, on a mammoth, usable and CloudWolf was nice enough to answer that request. Here is the result, picture and download for anyone wanting to use an imperfect Elekk, that is 50kb big, but is also very passable.

Elekk Skin

*Note: The skin is, I think, better suited for maps that used a zoomed out camera, like Draenor Risk does, so that the flaps on the Elekks side look a little more natural.

ALL CREDIT FOR THE ORIGINAL TEXTURE GOES TO KIMBERLY

ALL CREDIT FOR THE SKIN EDIT GOES TO CLOUDWOLF


I hope this is as useful to you fellow hivers as it was to me! Also, I am well aware of its flaws, like how it was no trunk in the portrait, but for 50kb you really can't complain in my opinion.

Ears are lil' too small but still very awesome!

Oddly enough, Elekks aren't supposed to have ears at all.

 

[Lordlycan]

really pretty!

 

[RichardBlackEye]

An impressive Elekk model!

The model works nicely in-game!
