Blender is a suite of tools enabling the creation of and replay of linear and real-time, interactive 3D content. It offers full functionality for modeling, rendering, animation, post-production and game creation and playback with the singular benefits of cross-platform operability and a download file size of less than 2.5MB.

Aimed at media professionals and individual creative users :

• Blender can be used to create commercials and other broadcast quality linear content, while the incorporation of a real-time 3D engine allows for the creation of 3D interactive content for stand-alone playback or integration in a web browser.

In order to do the CPU-consuming rendering of a scene faster and in more reliable way one can use the grid computing

Step1:

• We have to make a shell file containing the commands to execute our job.

Step2:

• we have to make a jdl file to describe our job, Containing the input file

• Step 3:

Then Submitting the job using this command:

• Then we have to check the status of the job using this command:

$glite-wms-job-status -i job.id

• When the job is successfully terminated, we can get the output to the user interface (UI) by typing the following command:

$glite-wms-job-output --dir alaa.out -i job.id

• Now we can get the output from the UI and copy it in my PC.
