Hi there…

Reading here found this other post that I think you should see, because of its relation to your post. I found it yesterday looking for a way to save the `cam.setState` so that I was able to return to that exact camera view while writing. I tried to print to the console  
`cam.setState` and I got this output, changing between keystrokes.

state1 = peasy.CameraState@127eec75  
state1 = peasy.CameraState@419b289a  
state1 = peasy.CameraState@3a64d831  
state1 = peasy.CameraState@4d23537d

Is this output what you refer to as “serialized” ? sort of like when you try to see the actual position / location? in an array… I was expecting some coordinates (x, y, z) of the position of the camera in that 3D space…  
Have not used it yet. Will install manually as I do not see it in the Contribution Manager. The states get saved to a JSON file. Excited to try it  
🙂

Most of the time… there’s still a bug with the movement when the look-at direction is almost parallel with an axis. Would someone accept t…
