Hi all, I have a question regarding a strange behaviour of the result of the following: // ---------------------------------------------- speed=45; frameCount=200; focusX=myMesh.position.x; focusZ=myMesh.position.z; cameraMove = function(cam, criteria, speed, frameCount, newPos) { ease = new BABYLON.CubicEase(); ease.setEasingMode(BABYLON.EasingFunction.EASINGMODE\_EASEINOUT); go = BABYLON.Animation.CreateAndStartAnimation(‘deplacement’, cam, criteria, speed, frameCount, cam.position, newPos, 0, ease); go.disposeOnEnd = true; } // =========================== // = Déplacement de la caméra = // =========================== cameraMove(camera, ‘position’, speed, frameCount, new BABYLON.Vector3(focusX, 20, focusZ-25)); cameraMove(camera, ‘rotation’, speed, frameCount, new BABYLON.Vector3(focusX+25, 20, focusZ)); // ---------------------------------------------- The scene rotates and moves I don’t know how many times then stops at a position that has nothing to do with the position initially requested. It’s quite difficult to put my program in the playground as I have more the 7300 meshes defined (locations in a warehouse) and my program uses Ajax functions to run Php programs. Thanks for your help. Olivier ---

hi @Olivier_Andre welcome to the forum! Whithout putting all your program into a PG, can you try to repro with default playground? ---

Hello and welcome! I believe your problem is related with this PR - [https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/pull/14584t](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/pull/14584t) You may try to use temporarily (until this PR will be merged etc) some earlier Babylon.js version. (Seems that the release is done already - [Release 6.33.0 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/releases/tag/6.33.0)) Another way - change animation loop mode as described here - [Camera Animation bug - #6 by Juancode](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/camera-animation-bug/46211/6) Your old code: `BABYLON.Animation.CreateAndStartAnimation(‘deplacement’, cam, criteria, speed, frameCount, cam.position, newPos, 0, ease);` New code which should work: `BABYLON.Animation.CreateAndStartAnimation(‘deplacement’, cam, criteria, speed, frameCount, cam.position, newPos, BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONLOOPMODE_CONSTANT, ease);` Hope it will help 🙂 ---

Thanks for your answers. @labris , I’ve tried with “ANIMATIONLOOPMODE\_CONSTANT” but same result. @Cedric , you can see the problem here. Uncomment the block at the bottom of the page to see the issue. In fact, I just want to focus the selected location.

If I comment rotation line, animation works as it should. There is some problem with rotation in your code - check this modification: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#G8EP7L#4](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#G8EP7L#4) (icamera rotation gives strange result even without animation). ---

cameraMove is animating always from the camera’s starting position instead of the camera’s starting rotation, are you sure this is what you intend? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/5/7/5744b1a550c0d353d473f5a26a9c9fc61c0f81d4.png) ---

Since the rotation is measured in radians, it rotates crazy with such high values like 20 etc. ---

@carolhmj I’m sorry, I’m new to BJS. Could you please give me the correct syntax to rotate the camera please? Thanks. ---

Pass the camera’s initial property along with the property you want to achieve at the end of the animation. Here’s an example in your code: [Strange behaviour | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#G8EP7L#6)
