Do you rotate the 3D model with visuals.look_at() ?

If yes, you could try doing it in _process() instead of _physics_process().
Physics processing doesn’t tick at the exact same rate/time than rendering (framerate), so that could explain the twitching.

Otherwise, I’m not sure it’s normal that you rotate the visuals in both _input() and _physics_process().

thanks for the help, I rewrote the code a little bit, and did as you advised, everything works
