Like all great projects, you leave it behind for a while... 5 years might be a little too long, time to get back on the saddle and work on it.For those that were in the loop back in the day, this is a revival effort to bring /3/ back to the cup and even though /3/'s history in the 4CC isn't necessarily stellar, it's always a work in progress. Things have changed since the last time the team played an official match, Konami stopped making games and we've been reusing older games with mixed success, however there are tools to have the same model quality as the newer versions of Pro Evolution Soccer before the series ceased production by converting them to the older games. For those that don't even know what this is all about, the 4CC is an inter-board competition where /3/ used to compete from 2012-2015 with a revival that went from 2018-2021, the team has fallen inactive since then but if there's enough interest ITT the team will return to competition with me and my co-manager Wyvern at the helm. There are 4 cups per year named after each season featuring the Elite and Babby divisions, the second division is the entry point for new/reviving teams and with the Spring Babby Cup coming up, team registration has opened and the time is now to revive /3/.Let's go fire up Blender one more time and kick a ball around, hopefully we don't lose too badly. For more info see https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//3/
Gentlemen, download those new Blender addons you've been looking at, dust off your graphics tablets, put on your beautifully modelled boots, it's time for some divegrass.I'll be lending a hand with keeping things running. Let's see what /3/ can do after a good long rest.
Finally! I thought you guys were too scared to revive the team, let's go
>>1026506hopefully we'll stay for good this time
>>1026508>>1026509Hopefully we can give the team a good outing and you guys will enjoy the new tweaks, changes and additions. Appreciate your support.
>>1026510what new changes are coming this time around? The team was already pretty good last time
>>1026511We'll be taking it slow for now, gonna be introducing some new kits and at least one new player (as seen in >>1026507) as we'll be adapting to the older PES engine's way of doing things, we quite like the existing roster the team had and think it is a good starting point, it'll develop as time goes on, of course.
>>1026512sounds fine by me as the team is just coming back, good luck!
ALL RISE FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNeGlEtVd34&
>two actual managersBlessed day.
>>1026517Didn't think we'd ever get revived, let alone get two managers
Can someone summarize if this is a modeling collaboration or something? Where are the bodies/rigs we are supposed to use as a base?
>>1026520The models will be done in-house by me and my co-manager as the job of the manager is to put together the team, both tactically and aesthetically. The "aesthetics" refers to the stuff you see on the pitch such as kits and the aforemetioned player models.We will be gladly taking player requests to make the team represent the board more, if you or anyone are interested in helping out please check the wiki.https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Blender_tutorials
>>1026521What if we volunteer models/topology, could you use that?
>>1026522Should be able to, would need to weight paint it to make it show up in game but yes.
postan to bring back the /3/, hell yeah!
are we going to be in fetus as a reviving team?
>>1026528We'd be qualifying straight to the main tournament if I recall correctly
>>1026528>>1026529That is correct, reviving teams get a bye directly to the main tournament.
>>1026530Hopefully we can return to the elites, we have unfinished business there.
>>1026524Okay, where do I send models to?
>>1026536You can either put it on catbox and share it here since we're both looking at the thread or alternatively contact information will be listed here https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Contact
what is this? putting goofy character models into some football game?
>>1026540Pretty much, and you get to compete against other boards that are doing the same. Not to mention that the players and teams represent the board.
>>1026542when is this cup going to be held?
>>1026545The upcoming Spring Babby dates are as follows;April 24th-26thMay 1st-3rdMay 9th-10th
>>1026546thanks!
>>1026506Is this the same management team as the 2019 run or no?
>>1026558It isn't
>>1026558>>1026560Can confirm, previous manager is long gone and retired.
>>1026561what even happened to him?
>>1026570Just resigned and just disappeared back to the aesthetics realm he came from, the co-manager he had also disappeared.
How do we go about recommending team players
>>1026579Anyone reading this can recommend them on this thread since we're keeping an eye on it, if there's even enough new player ideas we'll consider making a roster poll to keep it fresh. We'll start small and keeping what we already have for now though, just testing the waters for the time being.
>>1026580Got it
let's go back to the cup /3/!
Huh, glad to see the thread get more than just 3 replies like last time
>>1026617that was not the last time, we came back for a bit in 2020
>>1026506why are we using an old version of PES?
>>1026643Since there is no new PES forthcoming because >eFutbol, older versions of PES are being rotated around to try and keep things a bit fresher.
>>1026644thanks konami
>>1026644do we even know what version is going to be used this tournament?
>>1026682Yes, we're on 15 for Spring
>>1026682>>1026683It's not been confirmed just yet. It's most likely going to be PES 2015 but it's not been confirmed yet, will be confirmed after friendlies.
>>1026683>>1026684what a mess
>>1026686My bad, I genuinely thought the decision had already been made to roll with 15 for Spring
We are ready to go for friendlies! Submitted the exports and you'll be seeing /3/'s comeback games this Friday and Saturday. 3rd game in line both days, roughly at 18:20 UTC.
>>1026737Is the purple haired woman cris derived
>>1026738It's Kirika from Eiken
>>1026737good luck guys!
Friendlies didn't necessarily go to plan, the most disappointing part was that we couldn't even score one. That's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes as PES was clearly not amused by our offerings but we've got options and we chose one of them for friendlies, we'll have something else for cup proper.We might play again tomorrow depending on whether or not the commissioner books us in one of the remaining slots.
>>1026782Early days I guess, couldn't have gone much worse but it's a long road ahead.
>>1026782>We might play again tomorrow depending on whether or not the commissioner books us in one of the remaining slots.>booked again vs /vm/>lose 3-1At least we got a goal this time.
>>1026787Progress, at least.
>>1026782>>1026787same old /3/ it would seem
>>1026791PES 15 knows, it remembers
>>1026688Here's what we know on the matter now that the commissioner has given the word.>PES 15 confirmed for Spring 26 at least>GGSSS medals at 99 rated golds, 88 rated silvers, 77 rated nonmedals and 74 rated goalkeepers>will be using the same ruleset and patch as used in friendlies>subs reduced from 4 to 3 to take account for the medals being changed from 4 to 5tl;dr - PES 15 confirmed this cup
>>1026879>will be using the same ruleset and patch as used in friendliesHopefully you guys will learn from friendlies because that was not great.
>>1026888It's true, things definitely did not go our way in the friendlies. Changes have been made so going forward hopefully things will turn out better and the PES gods will smile on us. Then again, 15 seemingly has a vendetta against us specifically but we'll do our best to bring home some wins.
We got approved! As a reviving team, we will be heading directly to Spring proper as a pot 4 team, draw will be at 17:00 UTC on the 19th of April.
>>1027060We're back!
>>1027060LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>1027060Please god don't give us /mlp/
Now that we're confirmed in, the dates and times for the upcoming babby cup are as follows;Group Stage Draw - April 19th, 1700 UTC (as posted above, could be interesting, could be deeply traumatic, we shall see)Opening Weekend - April 24th-26th, 1700 UTCSecond Weekend - May 1st-3rd, 1700 UTCFinal Weekend - May 9th-10th, 1700 UTCLooking forward to seeing you all there.
>>1027119>could be interesting, could be deeply traumaticcan't wait to play against /pol/ and /mlp/!
Alright folks, today is the day of the Spring Babby Cup draw, tune in at 17:00 UTC!Additionally, we'll be moving back to stadium.blend that we used back in Autumn 2018 and Winter 2019 because Polly's Wonderland (pic related) couldn't be converted too well to the older versions of PES, no shaders made it look garish and even though we tried our best to mitigate it, with the cup coming up we decided to cut our losses and revert to the old stadium.
>>1027669yeah good call, that does NOT look good
>>1027675It's pretty on-brand for 80s CG stank but yeah, it's not looking how we would like it and after looking at the model and its UVs any work to get it looking better for 15 is going to be pretty major.
Well, here's the draw results fellas. That means we'll be straight up for a match on Friday 24th.
>>1027682>/pol/>/u/Autumn it is.
>>1027685I don't like to put too much of a negative spin on things but yeah, this isn't exactly the draw we were hoping for and this is going to be a pretty tough group straight out of the gate with /pol/ and /u/. That being said we'll give it our best shot.
>>1027682>that groupSurely they rigged it against us, what other explanation is there?
>>1027687Sou has a mystical, chaotic energy
>>1027688god damn that mexican
We gotta believe!
Nearly there! We're just one hour away from our 4CC return for the first time in 5 years, our match is scheduled to start at 19:00 UTC but given that things are usually slower on the first day, do keep in mind we may not start until a little after that.Hopefully this video can act as a good luck charm, this was the goal that sent us through to the Winter 2019 final and our last victory on this game engine.
>>1027861GET HYPE!
>>1027863Hyp indeed, wish us luck!
>>1027861>>1027863>>1027864you will never have three stars tripfag you will play rigged games against /LGBT/ and lose, you zill be happy abo it this.
>>1027865You lost, buddy? /lgbt/ is over in Group G, we're in Group B.
Good game /3/. This reminded me to complete my blender car model tutorial and get back into Revit.
>>1027869Thanks, it's a shame it ended in a draw when we pulled out a two goal lead more than once but there you go. I'm personally pleased we helped deliver an entertaining game, fingers crossed going forwards though there's a couple of tough matches coming. Make sure you post your car model here when you're done so we can all have a look.
>>1027871It was a nailbiter, that's for sure. Very entertaining.>Make sure you post your car model here when you're done so we can all have a look.Will do. Have a donut as a holdover
>>1027873It really was a nailbiter, the defending fuckups were raising my blood pressure that's for sure. Nice donuts too
>>1027871we played well, gotta keep our heads high
Fantastic game, tough result to take. For what it's worth we're thrilled the viewing public with maybe the best game in the tournament and the successful debut of Gunt, however the game itself was up and down with the attack being buttery smooth and Doomrider becoming an absolute god to always keep us within reach. The goalkeeper letting in that weird free kick didn't help either.Inexperience definitely came back to haunt us as ten men abuse dug the grave, admittedly we didn't know how to deal with it as their red card drastically changed the match and it started getting away from us, maybe parking the bus was the wrong decision but at the same time everything was going to plan until that red card. I can't promise that things will get better with the remaining schedule we have but we'll give it our best shot, our destiny is still in our hands.
>>1027876Don't be so down on yourself, we played well but there's nothing you can do when your opponent's striker played the way he played. Good luck, it has only just begun.
As an additional, since he was so well received on his first official outing, I'm pleased to say Gunt has already secured himself an emote slot on the cytube. Enjoy.
>>1027890Are there any sorts of award this guy could win?
>>1027893He could get best model or if he ends up getting involved in something silly could definitely end up in the Pulitzer
>>1027905>best modelGood opportunity for us to get something out there, looks like people took a liking to him.
