I have a React app with BJS scene inside. I use state objects of React, with React Hooks, to create an `Animation` object, the keys, and I use `scene.beginAnimation` to start it but I cannot get animation run.  
It returns and `Animatable` object which I store and use again to pause, stop, restart etc with `Animatable` methods of same names.

What am I missing?

I see. I know. It is just this setup I use makes the extraction of the code for BJS PG a bit difficult. But I will try to extract.

Here it is.  
[PG](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#48JBL2)

But it works here.  
While it also works in my app now, I have improved it, the problem it is not smooth, it is discrete. At first it is at origin then the second I begin animaiton it is at the final value.  
What am I missing here?

It is smooth in the PG ☹ so again no repro so it is complicated to help

Can you make sure the value you give are ok by logging them to the console?
