		+	Color ramp outputs are quite useful, each element will give us Color and Alpha. The latter can be used to drive (for example) a bump intensity, spec or a mix between multiple shaders. On occasion we'd like more channels per element, to use, for example, for glossiness, bump and roughness. We can't do this to a regular color ramp, but if you've already converted one to a nodegroup, you can simply click on it, hit ctrl-F1 and add a new channel from the menu.

 bezier and cardinal are '''not''' supported, as the math is a bit more complex. However, there is no limit to how many stops you can use, or how you want to animate them (color or position)
 However, each timelapse element is not available as an input, which means the only way to 'access' them is through direct driving or animation. This is inconvenient for modularisation, so timelapse toolbox can convert the ramp into a nodegroup with explicit inputs for each element (position, color, or both):

 === Display to Render ===
 It is often desirable that renderability curves/drivers for the objects or their modifiers match exactly with visibility curves. This utility simply copies them over:
