On my system the two plots on the bottom row of the Grid below look the
same.
$Version
"8.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (October 5, 2011)"
With[{is = ImageSize -> 300,
cfs = ColorFunctionScaling -> False},
Grid[{
{Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3},
ColorFunction -> (Hue[Sin[#1 + #2]] &), is],
Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3},
ColorFunction -> (Hue[#3] &), is]},
{Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3},
ColorFunction -> (Hue[Sin[#1 + #2]] &), cfs, is],
Plot3D[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3},
ColorFunction -> (Hue[#3] &), cfs, is]}}]]
I recommend that you use Rescale to understand how the scaling affects the
output
data = Prepend[Flatten[Table[{
x, y, z = Sin[x + y],
xs = Rescale[x, {0, 3}],
ys = Rescale[y, {0, 3}],
Sin[Pi (xs + ys)],
Rescale[z, {-1, 1}]},
{x, 0, 3, .75}, {y, 0, 3, 0.75}], 1],
{"x", "y", "z=Sin[x+y]", "xs", "ys",
"Sin[Pi(xs+ys)]", "zs"}] // Grid
