====== Description ======

The **variation.u** and **variation.v** texture property define if texture variations are used along the texture U and V direction. If texture variations are enabled various texture properties can be defines using a depth of larger than 1. The integral part of texture coordinates in the U and V direction are used to randomly pick a layer from these properties. A value of 0 indicates that texture variations are not used along the U and V direction. A value of 1 indicates that texture variations are used along the U and V direction.

The value is typically a single component value with the data in the values 0 or 1.

The default value for these texture properties are 0.
