Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library because it turns Blender's normally static Color Ramp into a node you can drive from other inputs, and it works across both the Shader Editor and the Geometry Node Editor.

What is Super Color Ramp?

Blender's traditional Color Ramp node keeps its color values static, with no input sockets on the color side. That means you cannot connect other nodes to its color sockets or control the color stops dynamically. Super Color Ramp is built to close that gap.

The add-on delivers the same functionality as the original Color Ramp node with a slightly different look and feel, and adds input sockets for all the color stops and color values. Connect other nodes to those sockets and the ramp responds dynamically. It's available in both the Shader Editor and the Geometry Node Editor, so you can use it in either place.

Super Color Ramp works with Blender 3.4 and above, including the 4.x releases, with listed compatibility running up to 5.0. It's marked as Blender Extension compatible and supports Cycles, Eevee, and the Blender Game Engine under a GPL license. After installing, re-open your current blend file or restart Blender so the new menu options appear. The download package includes documentation with a step-by-step install guide and screenshots, and a video tutorial is available.

Who is Super Color Ramp best for?

Super Color Ramp is best for blender artists who want to drive Color Ramp color stops and values from other nodes inside the Shader Editor or the Geometry Node Editor.

How much does Super Color Ramp cost?

Super Color Ramp is completely free to download and use.
