Hello community, exporting the scene as glb flips the camera on Y axis this was not the case in previous versions (I’m not sure which release caused this issue) * * * # UPDATE after some investigation, the issue was born with BJS 6.0.0 * * * ![Screenshot 2023-11-28 at 10.04.29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/2/6/26466e61b12f692e2c6df8d11f684f46215e0383.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2023-11-28 at 10.04.37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/4/6/46a1e15d7d85ad72d317c49401973e8dc5d75547.jpeg) check this playground for more details: > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#3A00GJ)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL and WebGPU 3D scenes ---

I think it was a bug fix to respect the gltf default convention. Cc @bghgary to confirm ---

Hi @sebavan , can you please point us to the specification that says so? cuz it kinda made the behaviour unpredictable. When we export a camera pointing at a scene, we expect it to stay pointing at the scene. thanks again for the snappy response 🙏 ---

You are not exporting the camera in the playground, you have a condition to not export it I believe ? ---

Agree in this case it looks like a bug. ---

I can repro and will investigate. It definitely seems like a bug. ---

Hey @bghgary I noticed that the bug persists when the camera is animated, the fix you did will be overridden by the values stored in the animation. here’s a playground that describes the issue > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#3A00GJ%235)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes ![Screen Recording 2023-12-12 at 10.14.50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/8/1/817427bff701ce92196d53ae5c99487680a49f04.gif) ---

Sorry for the long delay, but this issue is a problem in the method we decided to do with [this PR](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/pull/13909). This other forum issue is also related to this PR: [Inconsistent glTF Exports Between Babylon 5 and Babylon 6 - Bugs - Babylon.js (babylonjs.com)](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/inconsistent-gltf-exports-between-babylon-5-and-babylon-6/45216) I am planning on rewriting a lot of the glTF serializer to address a lot of short-comings and fix all of these issues, but it will take a while to complete. Sorry for the troubles. ---

no worries, thanks for the reply. I also noticed a similar behaviour with animated objects. I had to wrap them under a transform node to patch the bug. the exporter requires a lot of testing so we can avoid these issues. I’ll be happy to help if needed. ---

This should be fixed with the latest changes we did to the exporter lately. @MeshSlayer it should be fixed in version 7.45.0. ---
