To start building the zombie character, all related assets (meshes, textures, and animations) should be imported and configured correctly.

- Zombie texture: The zombie mesh comes with an accompanying texture (Zombie.png). This maps to the zombie via UV Channel 2. This texture should be assigned to the Albedo slot for the zombie material:
