Easy Driver - Technical Rigging Made Simple As Heck!

🤔 What does this even do?

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
• Blender 3.2.0 up to 5.1.0!!

This addon automatically detects movement patterns and creates perfectly mapped drivers in seconds.

✨ Key Features

🎯 Auto-Detection

• 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.

🔄 Dual Source Support (what's driving)

• Bone Transforms – Use armature bones as driver sources: scale, rotation, or position.
  • IK chain – Can still work even if the bone is controlled by IK or other constraints!
• Object Transforms – Use any object's location/rotation as input.

🎛️ Multiple Target Types (what you're driving)

🔹 Custom Pose Targets

• 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).

🔹 Shape Key Targets

• 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.

🔹 Custom Path Targets

• 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.

🛠️ Extra Features

• 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.

🎨 Perfect For

• 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
