Thanks for the laugh.  The OpenGL/Vulkan/Direct3D/etc. specifications 
have never required pixel perfect equality between graphics cards, so it 
has not ever been a goal AFAIK.  Are they close?  Yes, very close, but 
not pixel perfect.  The great thing about X3D is that you're archiving 
the description of the scene not the image of the scene.

    HTH,
