@James Thanks. We'll look into both options -- I'm transitioning to Blender, and the method for baking a cache into the blend file is not obvious. I think it would be widely appreciated if you could update the documentation with information on this. I assume that the co-location approach wouldn't work for cloud-based nodes? Much appreciated.

Thanks, James. I've been continuing to test this, and find that the animations work fine if they are keyframe-based. The ones that are only rendering the first frame are physics-based: a simple dropping/bouncing ball, and a baked fluid simulation. Is there an issue with those types of blend files? I don't see any references to that in the documentation. Much appreciated..

Has this been resolved for v0.2.1 for Blender 2.80? I've been saving the blend file and clicking the Resync button in CrowdRender, but am always getting just the first frame rendered repeatedly. If I render directly in Blender just on the local machine without CrowdRender, the animation works perfectly. I've also tried saving the blend file, exiting and re-starting Blender, and then re-loading the blender file. Still just the first frame repeatedly. Or am I missing something something in the "full resync"? This is Blender 2.80 (Windows 10 for the main machine, and Ubuntu 18.04 for the nodes. NVIDIA Quadro P4000 for the main machine and NVIDIA Quadro P1000s on the nodes. Crowdrender looks to be *awesome* if I can get this resolved. Many thanks.
