SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). Ensure your meshes are marked as "Static Bake", then enable SDFGI in the Environment settings. What can it do? It's enabled and it automatically works by generating global illumination for static objects.

Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture. We tried to solve this issue with Unity’s Line Renderer, but that tool doesn’t allow to do it properly. They are textured using the same atlas map and need to fit into the grid size.
