How should one proceed if they have walls where the plaster has come off on the surface in certain areas, to ensure the plaster texture is uniform, if one doesn't want to tear everything down and plaster everything anew? The walls should be painted anew after renovation.
Any good techniques, any special material?

Well, without being a pro at it:
It somewhat depends on how the surface looks today?! If it's a "torn" surface, I've personally had trouble making it look nice. If you knock off the loose parts and fill in with new plaster and scrape off with a trowel or sponge (the latter to get a smoother surface), it's easy to scratch the surrounding, old area. I would probably apply a thin, thin layer over the entire surface if the overall appearance was important.
Then there's the usual, water thoroughly and use the same or weaker plaster for the repair.
