24 frames for a walk cycle

Hey Wayne! I'm curious about the 24 frames you have given Stomp's walk cycle - Is that an arbitrary amount? Or is it more of an average/general amount of time that a two-step walk cycle takes (Even though everyone walks differently)? I think I remember something like that being mentioned in the Animator's Survival Kit?

    That's roughly the average of 2 steps. A single step is usually somewhere between 0.5 and 1 second. With running being being between 0.2 to 0.4. Jog being 0.3 to 0.6.

    Yep 24 is the average walk speed.  It is also easily divisible by 8 (2 steps with 4 poses)
