The same animation is used, but the ArcRotateCamera reaches the target point quickly and does not play the animation at the set time. I have made a test scene, please go to Playground to see it.

Welcome aboard! In a `ArcRotateCamera`, the position is handled a bit specifically. So, you need to clone the position and not pass it directly to `CreateAndStartAnimation`: > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#3VCKBU%231)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes ---
