Abstract
In this paper, we show a real-time lightning simulation for smart device game. Our proposed method uses physically based Dielectric Breakdown Model to similar real world lightning path and we simplify the algorithm for real-time simulation in smart device. In addition, the rendering process can render multiple lightning and can real-time render in smart device. Finally, our lightning can support interactive with user. The simulation method will be effectively useful for a game that needs a real-time simulation as its game element in smart device environment.
