Blender is an integrated suite of free and open source tools enabling
the creation of a broad range of 3D content with the singular
benefits of cross-platform interoperability. 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 a CUDA installation is detected at build time.
It may be disable by passing CUDA=no when building e.g.
    CUDA=no sh ./Blender.SlackBuild

Since Blender-2.83.0, SBo's cudatoolkit-8.0.61 is insufficient for a
successful build. The CUDA handling above remains for cases which may:
    - use a newer CUDA version toolkit
    - require the existing cudatoolkit for other purposes
      (so need CUDA=no for Blender)
