Cross platform compatibility question

[Ingsoc75]

I'm currently evaluating V-Ray for 3ds Max 2013 and I have a question regarding cross application compatibility.

We use both 3ds Max and Softimage and have had some issue getting similar looks using both applications native Mental Ray settings.

Would switching to V-Ray eliminate this issue or not (or make it easier to set up lights and materials between the two)?

We have tried to keep everything the same between the two implementations, so things should be pretty similar.

Best regards,

Thanks for replying back. How similar are the V-Ray cameras, lights and materials in Softimage compared to 3ds Max?

I would like to use cross platform compatibility as a selling pitch to my manager to purchase.

The underlying code is exactly the same; we have tried to keep the UI also very similar.
