Blender

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set.

Connect to the Graphical User Interface using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

Right click on the desktop and select "Open Terminal".

Alternatively, open an X11 connection to the login machine:

ssh -X name.surname@login.hpc.unipr.it

To run Blender 4.3.2 on 1 node of the gpu partition using 6 cores and up to 80 GB of memory, start srun like this:

srun \
    --job-name=blender \
    --nodes=1 \
    --ntasks-per-node=1 \
    --cpus-per-task=6 \
    --mem=80G \
    --partition=gpu \
    --qos=gpu \
    --gres=gpu:p100:1 \
    --time=0-01:00:00 \
    --pty \
    --x11 \
    bash

Once you have accessed the required resources with srun, run the commands:

module load apptainer
module load blender/4.3.2
blender.sh

In the new shell launch Blender:
