It can be used to create +3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast and cinema quality +video. It features fully integrated creation suite, offering a broad +range of essential tools for the creation of 3D content, including +modeling, uv-mapping, texturing, particle and other simulation, +scripting, rendering, compositing, post-production and game creation. + +CUDA support is included if cudatoolkit is installed. +It may be disabled by passing CUDA=no when building: + CUDA=no bash ./Blender.SlackBuild + +CUDA support hasn't been thorougly tested, and may break the build. If +so, build with CUDA=no and report a bug to the maintainer of this +script. + +Optional dependency: embree. If installed, Blender will be built with +support for it. It may be disabled by passing EMBREE=no when building: + EMBREE=no bash ./Blender.SlackBuild + +Note for 32-bit users: embree is 64-bit only, and can't be built on +32-bit Slackware. + +Optional dependency: alembic-framework. If already installed, it will +be automatically detected and incorporated when Blender is built. + +To enable support for OptiX Ray Tracing Engine, the OptiX SDK must be +available in the build environment. Use the OPTIX_ROOT_DIR environment +variable to identify the SDK location e.g. + OPTIX_ROOT_DIR=/home/chris/NVIDIA-OptiX-SDK-7.6.0-linux64-x86_64 bash ./Blender.SlackBuild + +Optional dependency: OpenShadingLanguage (OSL).

For Slackware 15.0, +due to its Python 3 version of 3.9.17, the Blender version to be built +is restricted to version 3.3.10. + +See also: graphics/blender (note, lowercase B), which repackages the +official Blender x86_64 release binary. |
