With a tree, the leaves would be separate textures from the bark. Moving 
the tree without moving the textures would mean that the colors of the 
leaves would change, and the bark would be different for each tree, but 
they would still look like trees(with nearly identical shapes, but the 
different colorations would disguise much of that).
With space ships, glass would have a different texture than the hull 
plates. Each ship would have different sets of hull plates and other 
features, but each texture would be applied where it is supposed to be.
With fish, the same goes. Different fish would have different patterns 
of colors, but the textures would be applied in the same place.
