In a 2 dimensional graph y is vertical, adding z doesn't change that.
That's still just convention. In cartesian systems the only requirement is that x and y are orthogonal.
When you add a third dimension, and additional concern arises being what direction of z is the positive one. You'll notice the two examples are not the same, if you flip either one so the x/y line up, there is still disagreement about which direction z is pointing.
No wonder Unreal Engine 5 is so slow. Its Z buffer is just a bunch of lines.
I find that it depends on the context. If it's side view only it's essentially 2D in which case Y is up.
For anything where you get a proper 3D view, Z is up.
The person is just in the wrong place on the bottom
There are two kinds of people: x and x.
Y will always be up for me thanks to Minecraft
