Hi there, I am trying to apply a GIF on Plane in unity through the Unity Babylon Toolkit, but not able to apply the GIF on the Plane Material, the plane has a PBRMaterial. I am doing something like this:-

> **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#V2APP3)**
>
> Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes

hey, @labris I am not able to understand how to apply the GIF on a Plane, can you apply the gif from my playground to a plane in Playground?

[@GeneralQuestions](https://forum.babylonjs.com/groups/generalquestions) what do you think about adding the code after line 36 in the framework, texture section maybe, and a flag, so we can directly use the giff url, and maybe a flag or use videoTexture to render it

I am all for it but the support is kinda broken at the moment and not wide enough I ll ping the team responsible for it to see if Firefox and Safari have planned an implementation cause it does not look like it ☹
