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.

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):

I don't usually don't talk about my job here, but I'm making an exception because today it's a personal milestone.
I have been working on the new Ribbon Path feature for a good year now and we just released it with the Substance Painter 11.1 update ! I'm quite proud !

For a fraction of the cost, I can make placeholders for you that are guaranteed to slip through to final build and far beyond.

To reduce the number of ray-marching steps needed to find the surface of our morphs we generate a proxy from the constituent meshes. It must fully enclose the morphed surfaces while remaining as tight as possible to maximize throughput. We want to minimize the red and blue regions in the debug view.

This illustrates the full process of capturing the "Essence" of a mesh to be used in a morph. The distance field is retrieved and then the mesh is projected onto the cube-shaped "screen" in order to pack its surface properties into two cubemaps.

just got the metrics on the steam machine. turns out its perfect room height and so many different textures will fit.

The Opulence Class prototype has been printed - a few things to fix, supports missing, but woah, it's a beast!
More to come for Overdrive, my upcoming spaceship game planned for 2026!

Bonus post to end the week: If you are a graphics programmer do yourself a favor and get a MIDI board. It makes the work way more tactile and fun. Full props to Matt and @aaronmjacobs.com for getting me on the MIDI train. :)

RGB rendering is founded on lies and perpetuated by misconceptions about the practicality of spectral rendering. My new blog post series describes a spectral GPU path tracer. Part 1 focuses on how to make it work with existing RGB assets.

The experiments with surflets and voxels yielded some cool results, but it became quite obvious that distance fields were the way to go to represent the surface of morph objects (as I alluded to previously). This allowed us to implement some visually neat effects like this twist transition.

If you're looking for a tech artist, you should definitely hire Andrea, she's awesome!
Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere.
If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm.
