I was making a first person maze game in P3D and encountered this problem. It seems like when I get too close to an object, I see through it. The camera haven’t even reached the surface of the object.
This is the code I use to control the camera:
```auto
camera(cam.x, cam.y, cam.z, cam.x+direction.x, cam.y+direction.y, cam.z+direction.z, 0, 0, -1);
```
Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve it?

Call this please
```auto
void avoidClipping() {
// avoid clipping (at camera):

perspective(PI/3.0, (float) width/height, 1, 1000000);
}//func
//
```

Whoa thank you! It works like magic 😃
I didn’t know Processing clips the scene by default.

Some references to clipping:

> Hello, Welcome to the forum. You are experiencing clipping. The Perspective section discusses this: [https://processing.org/tutorials/p3d/](https://processing.org/tutorials/p3d/) And you can adjust the z-far parameter using perspective(): [https://processing.org/reference/perspective\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/perspective_.html)
