Easy Driver is a powerful Blender addon that eliminates the complexity of creating drivers manually.
Perfect for:
- Rigging characters with shape key corrections and flexing
- Creating mechanical animations
- Building interactive controls
This addon automatically detects movement patterns and creates perfectly mapped drivers in seconds.
- Automatic Axis Detection – Move your bone or object between two positions, and Easy Driver automatically detects which axis changed the most.
- Min/Max Value Recording – Captures exact transformation ranges for perfect mapping.
- Bone Transforms – Use armature bones as driver sources: scale, rotation, or position.
- Object Transforms – Use any object's location/rotation as input.
- Record min/max poses for multiple bones simultaneously.
- Automatically detects which bones changed and on which axes.
- Perfect for facial rigs, mechanical parts, and complex deformations.
💡 Example: custom poses via bone transformations (toe spread or corrective movement via a bone slider).
- Browse and select shape keys from any mesh object.
- Set custom min/max values (0.0 to 1.0) with live feedback so you know EXACTLY what it looks like.
- Drive multiple shape keys at the same time easily.
💡 Example: viseme control & corrective shape keys
- Drive ANY Blender property using custom paths.
- Built-in path validation.
- Supports both float ranges and boolean toggles.
- Multiple paths can be setup at once.
💡 Examples: hide/show IK bones, control modifier strength, toggle visibility, adjust constraint influence.
- Linear Mapping with Clamping – Smooth, predictable transitions (values stay in your set range).
- Batch Driver Creation – Create multiple drivers simultaneously.
- Easy Driver Removal – Clean up drivers with one click.
- Quaternion → Euler Conversion – Automatically handles rotation mode conflicts.
- Character Rigging – Facial controls, finger poses, corrective shapes
- Mechanical Rigs – Pistons, gears, hydraulics, robotic joints
- Architectural Viz – Doors, windows, moving parts
- Motion Graphics – Abstract animations, UI elements
- Product Visualization – Exploded views, configuration options
