I don't know... user added image
But when I choose Y, makes the XML code and render it the only thing that shows up si some white stuff...
I think maybe the Camera is looking inside og directly outside...

When I turn Sun Light on and choose Y it seems like the camera is looking straight up :eek3:

I will do some more tests soon user added image
