true if the uri is a valid URL (http, https, blob)

This is the loaded asset root object. If the asset is a glb/gltf file this will be the three#Scene object.
The url of the loaded asset (or the asset to be loaded)
The name of the assigned url. This name is deduced from the url and might not reflect the actual name of the asset
loads and returns a new instance of asset - this call is networked so an instance will be created on all connected users

loads the asset binary without creating an instance
frees previously allocated memory and destroys the current asset instance (if any)

You can use
AssetReference.getOrCreateto get an AssetReference for a URL to be easily loaded.When using the same URL multiple times the same AssetReference will be returned, this avoids loading or creating the same asset multiple times.
