The camera behind the character goes through walls or snaps back and forth

A camera that hangs behind the player ends up inside pillars and walls, hiding everything. Pushing it forward helps, but doing it in both directions at the same speed makes it flicker when walking past posts. Here is a fast pull-in and slow return, and what to do very close.

Why this works

Showing the inside of a wall is worse than showing a close view, so coming closer must be immediate. Going back out can wait, because a slow return hides the flicker of passing posts and spares the eye.

When not to use it

Not suitable for games with a fixed or top-down view, where nothing stands between the camera and the character, and tricky in very tight indoor spaces. There, a camera that cuts to a better angle, or fades the walls out, works better than squeezing in.
