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

Open an X11 connection to the login machine:

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

Alternatively, connect to the Graphical User Interface.

Example of srun command to run Blender 4.3.2 on 1 node of the gpu partition using 6 cores and at most 80 GB of memory:

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
