great tutorial so far I didn't reached this step !! but I've a small question I had problem with the Atlas Texture UV when I was doing the modeling tutorial !! and people suggest to instead of using it, to just click Cntrl + J .... so is there any problem if I didn't follow this step ( the Atlas )

You don't have to use the Texture Atlas addon. You can layout UVs however you want. I just like to have all my meshes' UVs in the same UV space so I only have to bake one texture instead of multiple textures for multiple pieces.
