Hi ! 👋
I'm Froyok / Léna Piquet, and I'm a Principal Product Manager working on Substance Painter at Adobe since 2014.

In my spare time I used to play with the Unreal Engine, but now I work on own game engine called Ombre.

I also experiment with shaders and sometimes draw stuff.

Pillars far away have a bokeh effect on top of them. Image of my game engine Ombre showing a structure in the middle of a gray room being reflected. A bright red light is visible in its center. The sky is light gray and gives a hazy atmosphere. Image of my game engine Ombre showing a light in the middle of Intel's Sponza scene. On the right is visible some interface elements from the editor.

Let's "feel our oats" to end 2025!🦚
What are four of your favorite pieces you've created?
The alt-text contains my thoughts or tidbits of info about each one!
Displacement - A Fatal Occurrence. A massive inverted pyramid emerges from a billowing thunderstorm updraft. I've probably posted and reposted this piece the most out of the body of my work. I painted this in 2012, during a month I took off between switching game development studios. It was the first image I did fully with a technique that later became my standard workflow (using layer masks with flat colors). I feel like this image perfectly encapsulates my perspective as a symbolist/surrealist. Headless A figure made from stone meditatively poses in a vast desert while their head has erupted into sinewy-gossamer flaps. At the center, a bright light is visible with faint markers of sacred geometry being highlighted by concentric circles and dots. This image was painted for MCDM's Arcadia magazine (in 2021 I believe), but I feel like it represents many of my core spiritual beliefs. There is an element of Anātman that subconsciously came through and I appreciate how the image makes me feel. It's very peaceful to me even if it maybe looks a bit violent. Undivided ~No longer two of us, we are together in light and eternity~ A genderless being idles peacefully in golden saffron robes lined with chrysanthemums. Behind them is an aura, or portal, and surrounding them are iridescent birds. I painted this image in May of 2020, and I feel like it was a turning point for me in two ways. I was embracing a more mindful attitude about my own gender identity, and I was also embracing a more hopeful theme in my work. Memory of Salvation - Oremus Maius 2016 - Day 28 A burning halo floats above a black ibis gazing at the viewer inside of a lambent red space. I used to participate in my own version of Sketch a Day May that I named "Oremus Maius". Oremus translates to a daily prayer and Maius is May. I don't have much to say about this piece other than I just really like it! It was created quite quickly (an hour and a half total?) so I feel like I was in a flow state while painting it.

I got the first post about direct lighting material occlusion up on my blog. On this one I go over the commonly used micro-occlusion approach and its limitations, and I start digging into micro-shadowing as an improvement.

A few years ago, during a big internal quarter meeting (in which I didn't participate), some of my colleagues said "Léna is so great, it would be awesome if we could clone her".
I usually don't register compliments, but this one stuck with me.

What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Took a few tries, but I got the old ATI Toyshop demo running on Linux (with Proton 7).
I found some old tech demos to download from here: soggi.org/video-cards/...

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".

I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):
