Hi, I am currently trying to follow the steps of doing a circle around the mouse pointer. I tried following the steps of this playground coming from a previous post. [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8ZQVW1#4](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8ZQVW1#4) Now I just realized that my current mesh uses a PBR material (But the approach uses a standard material). What should I do to include the current material set with the circle around the mouse pointer? How can I translate a PBR material to StandardMaterial? I’ve also noticed that there is a PBRCustomMaterial, will it also be possible to use it to create the circle over mouse pointer? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you ---

Yes, you can use `PBRCustomMaterial` instead of `CustomMaterial`. The only thing to change in the shader is `color => finalColor`: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8ZQVW1#10](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8ZQVW1#10) ---

What do you mean? The material can either be a `PBRMaterial` or a `CustomPBRMaterial` but not both at the same time. ---

To get the look and feel of the `PBRMaterial ` that has defined textures or settings already and send everything to the `CustomPBRMaterial `. The `PBRMaterial` is coming from a .glb file and I’m using the `CustomPBRMaterial` to have the cursor but I want to copy the PBR Material and look like it wasn’t replaced with a new material ---

You will need to recreate the material as a `PBRCustomMaterial`. You can do it like this in a generic way: [https://playground.babylonjs.com#SAFX6T#7](https://playground.babylonjs.com#SAFX6T#7)
