# Statues ## How Are Statues Made? Statues can be static or animated, and you can save time creating humanoid or animal statues by saving a [**VoxEdit template**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/voxedit/docs/templates), creating a new asset in the [**Animator**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/voxedit/docs/animator), and importing a hierarchy of models from the saved template at any location in your asset's skeleton. Add simple animations such as moving grass, birds moving around your statue, snow, and more to bring your statue to life.
