Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This is similar to the limitations of physical sculptures.

In cases where a lot of objects need to be drawn, having them all share the same texture (or material) may reduce draw calls or state changes. When working on tile-sets, it's normal to have everything already drawn to a single texture but if the level uses a lot of separate images, then using an atlas may make sense to improve performance.
