Nice, it is mostly the same solution as the one in my other thread:

So no wonder why it is slow slight_smile Why are you generating a ray per frame? (scene.registerBeforeRender is called once a frame) You can create a dummy box, attach your box to the bone with mesh.attachToBone and then attach your ray to this dummy box

This worked also fine for me:

```auto
scene.onBeforeRenderObservable.add(()=>{
    camera2.position = newMeshes[0].position.add(new BABYLON.Vector3(0,10,0))
})

```

@timetocode  
Thank you for your explanations and ideas.  
I’m planing to make a FPS, so it is supposed to be a multiplayer game.  
You have a good point with moving the head with the camera, I didn’t think of that.

Apparently I can’t rotate a bone on its own.  
I tried:

```auto
botHead = skeleton.bones[4]
botHead.rotation.x = -2; // the same with x/z and other numbers 

```

But at least the whole mesh looks in the direction of the mouse now (still two dimensional)  
Even in first person.
