Baked Textures Disappear!

Support Materials and Textures
1

Ok, So I have never done much texture work before, and I was baking some AO maps for a little game project fine until I saved the .blend and opened another. when I opened the .blend I was working on back up, ALL THE TEXTURES HAD SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR! anyway, I wondered if they are not entirely gone, you see, in the screen shot you can still see a list of all the textures and you can see that they are not all black but can make out the AO renders in the little icons. So can anyone tell me if there is a way to recover them?

I have attached a screen shot of my progress before and a screenshot of what I have described.

Thanks in advance!

Please! are they saved to a cache of some sorts?

Afaik, your textures are gone. Be sure to always after baking SAVE your images (alt+s at image/uv editor window).

If there is really a way to get those textures back without re baking, I don’t know it.

Save as suggested or press button to pack it into .blend file. It’s often case the textures are missing from cache. And I think there is no way to get it back.
