NOTE: The D-Pad is the four-way Rocker Control shown in the image above under the word SELECT Using a Game Controller to Select and Add Objects To Manually Switch from Mouse Mode back to Control Mode Press the controller’s right trigger or right front button (top).

To Manually Switch from Control Mode to Mouse Mode This mode is automatically switched into if a dialog pops up (so that you can respond to it without putting down your controller and picking up your mouse) and is automatically exited when the dialog closes. Means just what it says–the right joystick controls the mouse and the front triggers or buttons act as left and right mouse buttons, respectively. When it is in this mode you use the D-Pad to switch among available object and camera controls, and the joysticks to control the activated multi throttles. This is the mode that the Game Controller is normally in and how it always starts when you frst launch the program.

A quick break down of the Game Controller's functions and how to use it If this option is disabled then FrameForge is not “seeing” your controller and you should exit the program, make sure that your controller is installed correctly, and try again. Once you launch FrameForge, if it doesn't automatically off a configuration dialog, go to the Tools Menu and choose Configure Control Pad.

Configuring your Game Controllerįull Instructions for this are in the full Manual in the Chapter Using a Game Controller accessible on the Help Menu from within the program, but in short, make sure your game controller is connected and recognized by your operating system BEFORE launching FrameForge. But whether you use a Director’s Pad or a generic USB game controller, the first thing you’ll need to do is make sure it’s configured the way you like it. This capability is so powerful we even offer our own high-quality Director’s Pad controller (sold separately), with all of the FrameForge functions clearly labeled next to each control. With FrameForge Storyboard Studio, you have the option of using a standard USB two-joystick Game Controller (game pad) to perform most of the same functions controlled by the keyboard and mouse, but all from one convenient device.
