The simulation of ocean scene has always been a hotspot in computer graphics research. In order to solve the real-time simulation problem of sea light effect,a sea light model is proposed. Firstly,based on the ray tracing theory and Beer Lambert＇s law,the problem of the interaction between seawater and light is solved by solving the luminance value integral and the light-transmitting ratio of the sampling point, Secondly, we introduce the Shadow Mapping method to sample the depth map, improve the real-time problem of the shadow of the object, and simulate the caustics formed by the light scattering through the texture mapping. Furthermore, according to the scattering phase function and the conservation law of energy, the asymmetric factor of the phaSe function is modified to eliminate the influence of seawater scattering on the volume of light and improve the authenticity of light propagation in the water. Finally, the linear octree algorithm is used to optimize the method and ensure the real-time performance. Experimental results show that the algo- rithm can achieve realistic illumination effect in real time.
