Time for another weekly video gang!

This one was completely inspired by an inspiring forum question asked a few months back. With lots of different possible ways to answer it, in this video I walk through how to leverage a new Node Material Editor mode for a fun and easy solution.

Thanks for the inspiration @pietrko

@PirateJC could you please check the playground link? It doesn’t work for me.

Anyway, thanks for the cool video!

This link: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#WFS7AT#12](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#WFS7AT#12) does work for me.

What is the error you get?

Hey @Alexander_Sosnovskiy thanks for sending this our way.

I dug into this about a month ago and don’t have great news.

It’s on the YouTube side unfortunately. It looks like they made a change in the past year to their url parser that eliminates the ability to recognize multiple ‘#’ signs in a url…something that the playground saving mechanism is dependent on.

It’s super lame and big bummer.

I’d like to file a bug on it, but if I’m being honest I got overwhelmed on where to even file a YouTube bug.

Anyways, it’s a known issue on the YouTube side, but not something I’ve gotten any further with.

Ok I figured out how to file “feedback” to YouTube.

No idea if this issue will be seen or taken seriously, but it’s been officially filed with YouTube!

This may be a stupid idea, but how about just creating a completely new playground and pasting the code?

Basically, this: [Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#AYJTKB) - Note that there’s no second hashtag for YT to eat 😋

Edit: I tried posting it in a YouTube comment as well, but looks like it got spam-filtered so I can’t test the link.
