# Instantiation of Factory Models

This section explains how a factory model can be instantiated in terms of:

* [Assets ](https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/assets)composing the model.
* [3D models](https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/3d-models) representing assets, with possible upgrades for [virtual reality](https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/3d-models/vr).
* [Animations ](https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/animations)associated with assets using [.json files](https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/animations).

Instantiated factory models can be stored in dedicated [data repositories](https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/datarepo).
