Color Ramp Converter

is a Blender addon that generates custom node groups from color ramp nodes, making a few parameters more accessible.

Features:

– Connected links are managed automatically by the addon.

– The created node group is NOT dependent on the addon.
Additional features like that may be added as experimental options.

– Constant interpolation type support with a different node group setup.

– Automatically add extra nodes of chosen type to the color inputs of custom node groups.

– Remove extra nodes when converting back to color ramp node (optional).

– The custom node group can accept any color input, not just color nodes specifically.
