Actually, even in this case I often texture each object separately, and then
apply some (e.g. random) transformation to the texture itself.
Otherwise, especially if the texture pattern is somewhat regular (e.g. marble
bands) and two objects are close (e.g. a set of marble tiles), you run the risk
of having the texture noticeably "continue" from one object to the next.
