Seasoned gaming studios like ours love Maya for its features and flexibility. Maya is also more effective for animations. This is also a stage where you should not rush in order to get a perfect mesh flow. I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. Hence, it was my tool of choice.

Moreover, objects that are further animated (such as characters) maintain their own strict set of topology requirements for the deformation to work efficiently. Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This is similar to the limitations of physical sculptures.

When doing character animations, specially characters with hundreds of thousands of animation frames (like Cuphead ), using an atlas will not give any increase in performance (as only one frame is drawn at the same time).
