In this spot i was responsible for the character setup of the players and the motion editing
of the characters as well as some extra animation where needed. e.g.
the modification of the MoCap data etc. I also Prepared the MoCap clips
so far that there where all walking in to Z+ direction, so it would be
later easier to blend them togeather in the Trax editor.
Yes the tool for motion editing was simply the trax editor of maya. we
all know, that the traxeditor is not a really ergonomic tool for that
(even if made for that) but for this application anyway sufficiant. sometimes
there was a little modification needed for the animation curves of the
MoCap data especially to get rid of the offset of the hands of the fat player when bracing on the knees when he is exhausted.

this little offset also came by the reason, that the MoCap skeletton and the Bound Sceletton where a little different due to the topology of the caracter. So i used the MoCap sceletton to transfer the rotation attributes to the rigging sceletton. thus in such cases a 100% topology match was not given and had to be corrected. Maybe i shoukd have taken an extra IK-handle and switch ing to IK when the hands touched the knees - next time

Finally i animated the main characters and nir löwenberg animated the background players with the MoCap clips. Holger Arndt made the 3D Supervising and the audience animation.
