 			In order to use the types THREE.FloatType and THREE.HalfFloatType, the WebGL implementation must support the respective extensions OES_texture_float and OES_texture_half_float. In order to use THREE.LinearFilter for component-wise, bilinear interpolation of the texels based on these types, the WebGL extensions OES_texture_float_linear or OES_texture_half_float_linear must also be present.
