Thx for replying.
But when option ColorFunctionScaling->False is added in both, the plots are
still different if u check them carefully...
As you remind me,  "With the usual default setting
ColorFunctionScaling->True, all arguments supplied to func are scaled to
lie in the range 0 to 1." is helpful and inspiring. As a result, I have
tried Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3},  ColorFunction ->
(Hue[Sin[Pi (#1 + #2)]] &)] to get the same plot as Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x,
0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}, ColorFunction -> (Hue[#3] &)] produce, but unfortunately
they are still different.
So would u be so kind to help me find a way to make the same plot
as Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}, ColorFunction -> (Hue[#3] &)]
without using ColorFunction form Hue[#3]& but with other form including #1
and #2 ?
Thx a lot!
