Losing texture connections when creating a prefab

Welcome,

I created a set of objects with particles, animations - and obviously - an empty object parent. I made it into a prefab, but all instances of this prefab I produce have no texture/material references anymore, which turns it all into pink. I am sure it was caused by animation, because it was my first prefab with animation and I haven't got this problem before.

However, when I remove the animation component and try to make a prefab again, the textures still have no reference.

The oddest thing is that one single object kept its texture.

• Original object

• Result of dropping a prefab made out of original object. Note the object with texture still on.

It really bothers me, because I have 2 weeks to create a game for my college assignment and I just got stuck in the design phase!

Any help appreciated. Thank you.
