Unity is like DirectX, Godot is like OpenGL. Most content creation software that I've used are right-handed with Z-up, maybe dating back to CAD packages treating floor plans (or other 2D drawings) as XY? Maya is an exception here with a Y-up, and I think SolidWorks might be in that camp as well. https://twitter.com/DJ_Link/status/952185276218200065/photo/...

POV-Ray uses a left-handed system with Y-up. I think this is pretty unusual but I always found it strangely intuitive.

ZBrush is Y-up, Z is front-back. It's freaking annoying.
