Why we like it

Drive Them All – Colors earns its place in the superhive library for reducing color-driver work to a Team-based, two-click routine. It's the Blue Version, an initial and final release, with the DTA-CC edition available for those who also need Controls.

What is Drive Them All - Colors?

Drive Them All – Colors is a Blender addon that handles color driver management from a single place. Instead of moving back and forth between Blender tabs and menus to assign or tweak a color driver, you organize everything in one spot.

The workflow runs on Teams. Create a Team, add as many Colors as you want, then pick a color and right-click to "Catch this Wild Color" before hitting Apply Driver to link it. Teams and Colors can be renamed anytime. Remove Driver detaches drivers and keyframes, Remove Color deletes the slot and its drivers, deleting a Team erases all its Colors, drivers and keyframes, and Reset DriveDex clears everything.

This is the Blue Version, described as an initial and final release. It works with Blender 3.6 to 4.4 and is distributed under the GPL license. A companion DTA-CC edition covers all available driver types, Colors and Controls, alongside separate Red and Yellow versions.

Who is Drive Them All - Colors best for?

Frequently asked questions

Does Drive Them All – Colors work with Blender 4.4?

Drive Them All – Colors supports Blender versions 3.6 through 4.4, so recent 4.x builds including 4.4 are covered along with older 3.6 releases. It handles color driver management from one place, letting you group colors into Teams, capture a color, and apply a driver. If you're on a Blender build outside that 3.6 to 4.4 range, check the developer's page and the GitHub Wiki for the latest compatibility details before installing.

How do you assign a color driver with Drive Them All – Colors?

Drive Them All – Colors uses a Team-based routine. You create a Team, add as many Colors as you want, then pick the color you want to drive and right-click to "Catch this Wild Color". Hitting Apply Driver links it, putting that color under driver control in two clicks. You can rename Teams and Colors anytime to stay organized. Remove Driver later detaches drivers and keyframes, while Remove Color deletes the slot and its drivers.

Is Drive Them All – Colors free to use?

Drive Them All – Colors is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any pricing that may apply, check the developer's page directly. This is the Blue Version, described as an initial and final release, so ongoing feature growth is directed toward the Yellow editions instead. A companion DTA-CC edition covers all available driver types, both Colors and Controls.

What's the difference between the Blue Version and DTA-CC?

Drive Them All – Colors is the Blue Version, focused on color drivers. The DTA-CC edition is recommended for accessing all available driver types, covering both Colors and Controls, and there are separate Red and Yellow versions available too. The Blue Version is described as an initial and final release, meaning new features are planned for the Yellow versions rather than this one. For deeper documentation, the developer points to the DriveDex Manual on the GitHub Wiki.
