Drivers can be added to properties via their context menu, a shortcut, copy-pasted,or by typing an expression directly into the property’s value.

Aug 20, 2012  In this tutorial you will learn how to use drivers in blender in order to animate car's wheels. Drivers allow you to control an object's transformation such as grab, rotate, scale etc.

After adding drivers, they are usually modified in the Drivers editor,or via a simplified Edit Driver popover invoked from the property context menu.

Add Driver¶

Reference

Context menu ‣ Add Driver

Ctrl-D

The usual way to add a driver to a property is to RMB click a property,then choose Add Driver in the context menu.Drivers can also be added by pressing Ctrl-D with the mouse over the property.

This operation adds a driver with a single variable (which needs to be filled in),and displays the Edit Driver popover.

Edit Driver¶

Displays a popover window that allows editing the custom expression and input variablesof the driver without opening the full Drivers Editor.

Many drivers don’t use their F-Curvecomponent, so this reduced interface is sufficient.

Open Drivers Editor¶

Opens a new window with the Drivers Editor andselects the driver associated with the property.

Copy & Paste¶

Reference

Context menu ‣ Copy Driver

Context menu ‣ Paste Driver

Drivers can be copied and pasted via the context menu.When adding drivers with the same settings, this can save time modifying settings.

Copy As New Driver¶

A driver that sets the property value to the value of a different property can bequickly created by using the Copy As New Driver context menu option of the inputproperty, and then pasting the result onto the output property via Paste Driver.

It is also possible to add the new driver variable to an existing driver usingthe Paste Driver Variables button in the editor panel.

Expression¶

This is a quick way to add drivers with a scripted expression.First click the property you want to add a driver to, then type a hash # and a scripted expression.
