In the second playground example: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#K5W35Y#8 the model appears to have no face, or it is positioned somewhere away from the body. Moving the UI sliders seems to move the face up and down instead of morphing expressions.
A search of this forum before I posted this issue found that this seems to have happened before and looks like it might have been fixed at some point: Broken MorphTarget in VRM(glb) Model so perhaps this is a regression?
