Tall and short characters share a walk animation and the small ones skate

Players in an online game choose their own size, and one animation has to serve a tiny and a giant body. Run it at the same rate for all and the small feet blur over the ground or the big ones shuffle. Here is the rate to use, which clip to pick, and the point where no rate is right.

Why this works

A stride covers ground in proportion to the size of the body, so one clip fits only one size at one speed. Matching the playback rate to speed and size keeps the feet planted, and switching to a faster clip beats stretching the rate until it looks like a fast-forward.

When not to use it

Wrong when the bodies differ in shape, not only size: a long-legged and a short-legged creature, or a four-legged one, need their own clips. Also unneeded if every avatar has the same size.
