Skeleton Creation Tutorial

Hey,

To start off I need to let everyone know, I know absolutely NOTHING when it comes to animation, rigging and modeling, but I need to create a skeleton for a pistol I downloaded off of the internet. I searched online and I couldn’t find any tutorials for creating a skeleton in Unreal Engine, or a free tool, because I do not have money to spend on tools. So if anyone could give me a place to start, that would be absolutely wonderful.

Thanks already,

Thanks for the resource, but I loaded it up, added a few bones to the model, imported it to ue4, and there was only the original single bone
