Average Speed

dont know about the average speeds.

But to get him to move properly, it all depends on your 3d coordinate system. You have to have consistency while modelling.

Like a scale, 1.0f 3d unit = 1m real life.
So if your room was 10.0f 3d units wide, that would be 10m wide.


After having your scale, just calculate meters per second etc. and he should move realistically.

crawling would be about 0.3 m/s
walking, about 5 km/h = 1.4 m/s
jogging, about 12 km/h = 3.3 m/s
running, about 18 km/h = 5 m/s
sprinting would be 30 km/h = 10 m/s (100 meter in 10 seconds )

to get A m/s for B km/h, divide B by 3.6

to get A miles/h into B meter/s, you roughly multiply A by 0.5. (to be accurate, it's 0.444).

10 miles/h => 16 km/h => ~5 meters/s

You''re assuming constant velocity for working out the sprinting speed, don''t forget they start from rest at the beginning of a race, so the end speeds are higher. However most people can''t do 100m in 10s, so it probably doesn''t matter.

Also, once I''ve got that how do I calculate the distance that I must increase him by to get him to move.

                          /
s = [can''t make integral signs]|v dt
                               /

So for a constant speed, position = speed*time + initial position
