Why we like it

Drive Them All – Colors & Controls earns its place for organizing Blender's drivers into named Teams and cutting color linking from separate RGB and Alpha channels down to two clicks. Documentation is available and a demo video exists.

What is Drive Them All - Colors & Controls?

Drive Them All – Colors & Controls (Yellow Version) is a Blender addon that works with the program's driver system. It centralizes custom properties, letting you organize them into named Teams and add as many Colors and Controls inside each Team as you need.

To connect a value, pick the property, right-click "Catch this Wild Control", then hit Apply Driver. Driving a color in Blender normally means linking three RGB channels plus Alpha and repeating the steps; here it takes two clicks. The context menu adapts to the property type, and if the catch option doesn't appear, the property isn't drivable. Control Vector drives Vector3 (X, Y, Z) values simultaneously, and Control Boolean drives any True/False property.

You can rename Teams, Colors and Controls, and edit a Control's settings at any time. Remove Driver detaches drivers and keyframes; removing a Color or Control deletes the item and its drivers; deleting a Team removes all its contents; and Reset clears everything. The Yellow Version is the initial release, with more updates planned.
