Could somebody point me out on how to control the Blending mode of Color Mix nodes through the Custom Properties driver? I want to be able to choose between Mix, Multiply and Add parameters. I have been creating custom drivers to change floats and colors, but never to pick a value from the list. Can't find any advice on the topic.

  • $\begingroup$ Don't understand me wrong, I don't accuse you of anything, just look at the difference of the changes you made: i.imgur.com/CjuxJTI.png - you removed over half of words and then added majority of the new form of the post - of course metrics like this (amount of words removed/added) can't possibly mean the change is incorrect, but it really should make you reconsider if this is the edit you want to make :D And I think both me and Chris agree the edit was actually changing the meaning of the question too much. Simply ask a new question and link to this one for context. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 5 at 11:25

You can use usual workflow: right-click a field and choose "Copy as a New Driver", and right-click another field and choose "Paste Driver". The value to be used is the index of the option:

  • $\begingroup$ LOL! I did not notice that I was already controlling it through a custom property integer driver. =DDD Thanks. Are there any tricks to limit the amount of options though? Instead of going through all the list, would be cool to skip some of the blending modes. $\endgroup$
