I was curious abour rigging for Carrara. How difficult is it to learn how to use it? then learn how to rig for it? I got it so I want to learn how to use it, including rigging for it. Maybe if there are some good YouTube videos.
I know there was some video tutorials that were on sale here but the website that host them is acting wonky for me. I am not able to download all of them, but the missing ones might be in my online archive. Or is there anyway I can request for the downloads to be reset?

use the bone icon to drag some bones into the scene outliner,
drag the next one under another one to create children
needs to be a tree hierarchy
translate them as needed to match the mesh
select the mesh hold shift select the bone at the top of the tree
go to animation tab and select attach skeleton
also under there can add IK and choose balljoint for children for a fast inverse kinematic rig

rigging is fairly easy once you get the jist of it... it's the weight painting that's a PITA!
and I'm just a mediocre hobbyist that dabbles
