I've been trying to send a person my .blend file with an external cache folder (.bphys format) to render a fire for me, and when he opens it, he can't connect the two. Any solutions?

Set blender to use relative paths.
Copy the folder with the cache on the same folder as the blend file.
Pack all the images used as textures.
Zip the folder with all those files into a single compressed file.
Send the zip file.

$\begingroup$ So put the .blend and cache folder into one folder together, then zip that? And set blender to File>External Data>Automatically Pack into .blend AND File>External Data>Make all paths relative? $\endgroup$– MasonMay 8, 2020 at 23:18

$\begingroup$ It is important that the cache folder is in a subfolder. No need to rename it, $\endgroup$ May 8, 2020 at 23:20

$\begingroup$ Ok got it, sitting alongside the .blend file correct? $\endgroup$– MasonMay 8, 2020 at 23:21
