Creates a video texture. If you want to display a video in your scene, this is the special texture for that. This special texture works similar to other textures, with the exception of a few parameters.
optional name, will detect from video source, if not defined
can be used to provide an url, array of urls or an already setup HTML video element.
is obviously the current scene.
can be used to turn on mipmaps (Can be expensive for videoTextures because they are often updated).
is false by default but can be used to invert video on Y axis
controls the sampling method and is set to TRILINEAR_SAMPLINGMODE by default
allows finer control over video usage
Define the list of animation attached to the texture.
With compliant hardware and browser (supporting anisotropic filtering) this defines the level of anisotropic filtering in the texture. The higher the better but the slower. This defaults to 4 as it seems to be the best tradeoff.
Tells whether textures will be updated automatically or user is required to call updateTexture manually
Get if the texture can rescale.
Define the UV chanel to use starting from 0 and defaulting to 0. This is part of the texture as textures usually maps to one uv set.

Define the current state of the loading sequence when in delayed load mode.
Define if the texture contains data in gamma space (most of the png/jpg aside bump). HDR texture are usually stored in linear space. This only impacts the PBR and Background materials
Defines if the alpha value should be determined via the rgb values. If true the luminance of the pixel might be used to find the corresponding alpha value.
Define if the texture is having a usable alpha value (can be use for transparency or glossiness for instance).

Gets a boolean indicating if the texture needs to be inverted on the y axis during loading
Is Z inverted in the texture (useful in a cube texture).
In case a better definition than spherical harmonics is required for the diffuse part of the environment. You can set the irradiance texture to rely on a texture instead of the spherical approach. This texture need to have the same characteristics than its parent (Cube vs 2d, coordinates mode, Gamma/Linear, RGBD).
Define if the texture is a 3d texture (webgl 2) or if false a 2d texture.
Is the texture preventing material to render while loading. If false, a default texture will be used instead of the loading one during the preparation step.
Define if the texture is a cube texture or if false a 2d texture.
Gets whether or not the texture contains RGBD data.
Define if the texture is a render target.

With prefiltered texture, defined if the specular generation is based on a linear ramp. By default we are using a log2 of the linear roughness helping to keep a better resolution for average roughness values.
With prefiltered texture, defined the offset used during the prefiltering steps.
With prefiltered texture, defined the scale used during the prefiltering steps.
Gets or sets an object used to store user defined information.
Define the name of the texture.
Are mip maps generated for this texture or not.
Callback triggered when the texture has been disposed. Kept for back compatibility, you can use the onDisposeObservable instead.
An event triggered when the texture is disposed.
Observable triggered once the texture has been loaded.
Event triggerd when a dom action is required by the user to play the video. This happens due to recent changes in browser policies preventing video to auto start.
For internal use only. Please do not use.
