The ManCandy FAQ is a collection of animations and video tutorials for rigging and animating with ManCandy - rigged Blender character. The animations are in question and answer format (hence the title) and are intended to be a fun way of documenting the rig.
The video tutorials are a little more serious, and are divided into animation and rigging topics. Animation tutorials cover setting up files and linking, animating an arm motion in FK, doing a cartoony take and walkcycles. Rigging topics are arranged according to the parts of ManCandy's body - there are sections for the hands, torso, face, legs, etc.
While this is not a basic rigging tutorial (viewers should have a basic knowledge of the Blender interface and the bare minimum of armatures and animation ) there is a basics/primer tutorial that quickly goes through blender rigging and animation features, such as lattices, armatures, weight painting, etc.
There is also a short bonus rigging breakdown tutorial on a simple surprise character (not ManCandy.)
