Froyok (Léna Piquet)

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.

Got a little annoyed at a tool again - a lot of blender addons trying to add WASD style movement were 1,500+ lines and getting it wrong. Unreal-like movement with panning, WASD nav and camera smoothing. controls configurable. GPL.💖 #blender #unrealengine #gamedev 🔗 codeberg.org/shaderwitch/...

I’m really happy to finally be able to share what we’ve been working on for several months now. #Illugen 2 brings a huge number of new features, and there’s plenty more to come. #techart #vfx www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFUV...

Autumn in eastern Serbia (Kučaj) 🧡 (not render)

Dressmaker is a masterpiece.

I bought tons of retro CG books from Japan, btw. The package was 12 kg (!). “We can’t do this anymore, we forgot how” will not be a thing anymore. Will post more photos in the thread.

The Character DNA Addon for Blender from Poly Hammer is pretty sweet if you, like I, have to deal with Metahumans and don't want to spend a few grand on a Maya license

#geometrynodes tool made for the pwnishers new challenge. Plane is going to be far away so its good enough for now. #b3d

I'm immensely proud to announce that my texture library that's been in the making for nearly a decade is now available on my itchio store for indie devs to purchase commercial licenses. makkon.itch.io

I fell into the #unity3d #HDRP codebase again. Oops. I wrote a post about how the water currents were done at the time: rivers, cascades and vortices on an FFT ocean, and no feature written for any of them. If you are curious: anisb.github.io/2026/09/26/c...

Room 303 from the Ravensworth Grand Hotel. Watch your step. #GameDev #Godot

The start map for Quake Rooftops is ready soon! Ty for your patience! 💜

Completed and submitted my #QUAKE rooftops jam map last night. Not everything got in the time limit, but it shines in the right spots. #gamedev #leveldesign #lowpoly #screenshotwednesday

A mini-movie showing off the Skyhook concept, where an SSTO is boosted off an electromagnetic accelerator and ramp to meet a 230 km long rotating tether that flings it to the Moon: youtu.be/AhYnXZfAd5o

Gunman Contracts is very fun and I wish more people had VR to experience it fully. If you do everything right, you're John Wick. Most players are closer to a very heavily armed Mr Bean.

It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE! Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months. A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA

I've released my Tone Mapping Analysis tools for comparing tone mapping LUTs, implemented as a Unity project with custom editor windows. Compare how different tone mappers look when applied to HDR .exr images, with comparison sliders and a variety of overlays and graphs. github.com/runevision/T...

In ~2007 when coding the ambient lighting of Splinter Cell, I had the idea of storing dynamic SH probes in Voronoi cells, where a) dynamic objects could walk/lerp the face graph, and b) static meshes "palettised" probes per vertex and lerped to give Realtime GI. It never shipped but look how pretty!

Stop writing 1.0 - smoothstep(a, b, x) And do smoothstep(b, a, x)

SPRAWL zero is out now! The culmination of so much blood sweat and tears, who would have thought a random interaction on the Quake Mapping discord would have lead to this? store.steampowered.com/app/3748520/...

Freighter #SST26 #spaceshiptember

gonna experiment with primarily white livery with this one

The Steam page for my next project: What Lies Within The Ivory Tower is live. The game has officially entered an alpha stage. Here's some images from the game and intro cinematic, with some fantastic assistance by @brickwork.bsky.social on the ship!

Alwan 2.0.0 is out. Colour science in pure C11, first public release. Almost a year! No dependencies. f32 and f64 in one binary. A core that compiles unchanged as C, HLSL, GLSL and Halide. MIT. github.com/soufianek... 1/28

textures i painted with gouache vs. model i used them for

This thread have a title: "I discussed with @troy_s and everything became more complex" So: How to treat "out of gamut" pixels in "picture formation". 1/21

Distorting space with sine functions #math

Elevator gameplay features, including openable ceiling to climb on top of the elevator and removable floor tiles to go below. Full video in comment. #GameDev #Godot

This one is for our #rendering and #TechArt folks: You can see the early version of our custom rendering engine and the final result you can experience in the demo! A huge part of the work was indeed the reflections 👀

big doors are cool. Wip screenshot from my Quake Rooftops jam map.

Being an open source maintainer in 2026

Gamedev can have a little door discourse as a treat

It’s the weekend! Let’s stretch a little with these cats. Cats seem to know better than we do how to truly relax. Stretch your legs, loosen up, and let go of the week’s tiredness. I hope these little cats bring a bit of ease and a good mood to your weekend😊 #shouxinsketch #cat #sketch #sketchdaily

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

This 2D-looking animation is actually 90% 3D, made in Blender! It mixes 3D rigs, Grease Pencil, and meshes to get the final look. 👀 Made by: www.instagram.com/cg_hitchhiker #blender #b3d #gamedev

New release of Mega Geometry SDK now with a textured version of the Zorah scene (gltf + ktx2 70 GB). Lots of great work by Calvin Hsu. RTXMG (now with ported lod system) github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/R... VK r&d sample: github.com/nvpro-sample...
