Figure 3.7. Storage requirements of the CG-buffer compared to a standard deferred
G-buffer. Only the size of the visibility data grows with supersampling. We rendered
the Sponza scene at 1,280 × 720 pixels.
3.5.1 Memory Consumption
We have analyzed the memory consumption of our method, compared to super-
sampled deferred shading. We save storage by essentially deduplicating shading
data in the G-buffer. However, as a shading sample might not coincide with
any visibility samples on the s
