Ratchet and Clank on the ps2 did this insanely good. Some guy on youtube completely described how they did it, let me find that real quick.

Edit, this is the one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6CnfnhTBWX0

I find that for me this happens especially often in 3rd person camera control. And I think it has to do with the distance between the camera and the controlled actor.

Think driving a car, and the camera moving up close to the car when you’re under something like a bridge which would otherwise clip the camera. At that point my preference for camera controll switches from ‘orbit object’ mode to ‘aim’ mode so to say.

Does that make sense?

You seem to know a lot of this, in order for your point to click for me, could you explain why some extra payment processor is needed? Would a simple bank transfer not work? If you give me your IBAN, we could let our banks take care of it, right?
