Why we like it

Drive Them All - Controls earns its spot in the superhive library by pulling custom property driver management into a single Team-based panel, built for Blender users who work with drivers regularly.

What is Drive Them All - Controls?

Drive Them All - Controls, the Red Version, is a Blender addon from phaze974 that turns property driver management into a smoother, more intuitive experience. It lets you control and organize custom properties without endlessly digging through panels, modifiers, and menus.

The workflow runs on Teams and Controls. You add a Team, add a Control and train it by choosing its abilities, then capture the property you want to drive by right-clicking to catch the Control and hitting Apply Driver to link the value. Control Vector drives Vector3 (X, Y, Z) values simultaneously, while Control Boolean handles any True/False property. You can rename Teams and Controls anytime, edit a Control's settings, and remove a driver to detach it along with its keyframes. Deleting a Team erases its Controls, drivers, and keyframes, and Reset DriveDex clears everything.

It works with Blender 3.6 through 4.4 under the GPL license, with Cycles listed as the render engine used. Documentation is available through the DriveDex Manual on the GitHub Wiki, and a demo video is provided.

Frequently asked questions

Does Drive Them All - Controls work with Blender 4.4?

Drive Them All - Controls supports Blender versions 3.6 through 4.4, so it covers a wide span of recent releases including 4.4. The addon is distributed under the GPL license and lists Cycles as the render engine used. If you're on a version within that range, you can install it and start organizing custom property drivers into Teams. For exact setup steps and details beyond the essentials shown on the product page, the DriveDex Manual on the GitHub Wiki is the reference to check.

What kinds of properties can Drive Them All - Controls drive?

Drive Them All - Controls handles properties through dedicated Controls. Control Vector drives Vector3 values, meaning the X, Y, and Z components can be driven simultaneously, while Control Boolean drives any True/False property. You capture the property you want by right-clicking to catch the Control, then applying the driver to link the value. From there you can edit the Control's settings, rename it, or remove the driver to detach it along with its keyframes whenever you need to. The GitHub Wiki documents these steps in more depth.

Is Drive Them All - Controls free?

Drive Them All - Controls is listed as free in this catalog, and its license is GPL. For current licensing terms and any editions, check the developer's page. This is the Red Version, described as its initial and final release, and the developer also mentions a Blue Version, a Yellow Edition, and a combined DTA-CC option that accesses all available driver types, Colors and Controls. To confirm what each edition includes, the developer's page and the GitHub Wiki are the places to look.

What happens when I delete a Team in Drive Them All - Controls?

Drive Them All - Controls includes several destructive actions worth knowing before you use them. Deleting a Team erases the full Team along with all its Controls, drivers, and keyframes. Removing a driver detaches that driver and its keyframes, and Reset DriveDex clears everything: Teams, Controls, drivers, and keyframes. You can also rename Teams and Controls or edit a Control's settings at any time without removing them. The DriveDex Manual on the GitHub Wiki documents these actions in more detail.
