Hello Geet and welcome to our forum.

This sounds odd. Are you saying that no one of your two gamepad are working in Craft Director Tools? They have to be plugged in before you start 3ds MAX otherwise they won't be detected. But this almost sounds like some other type of issue. Are you using the USB-charging cable to connect the PS3 controller to your PC? I'll bring one of my controllers from home into the office tomorrow and see if I get the same problem.

yes i am using ps3 controller with the usb cable provided with ps3 plus i downloaded the drivers from net to get the ps3 controller working on pc also if i can play games with the controller why can`t it be detected with craft director tools

Geet, do you have a link to the drivers so I know that I'm using the same ones when I try it. If it worked with games it _should_ work with Craft Director Tools.

I brought the PS3 controller into work today and used the drivers from this page. And it works for me without any problems.


Are you sure you checked "Joystick device" during the installation process? Please download the latest version of Craft Director Tools and run the installation again (no need to uninstall anything, just remember that 3ds MAX/Maya can't be running during the installation) and make sure you check "Joystick device". Then start 3ds MAX/Maya and try auto detecting again.
