Claim:
1. A method operable by a computing device comprising: receiving information associated with a first three-dimensional (3D) data model of an object; receiving information associated with a second 3D data model of the object; rendering a first set of images of the first 3D data model, wherein images of the first set of images are rendered from respective angles with respect to the object; rendering a second set of images of the second 3D data model, wherein images of the second set of images are rendered from the respective angles with respect to the object; indexing images of the second set of images to correspond to respective images of the first set of images; comparing respective images of the first set of images to images of the second set of images to determine a plurality of image difference scores between the respective images of the first set of images and the images of the second set of images; determining an object difference score based on the determined plurality of image difference scores; rendering the first 3D data model of the object for display; and rendering the second 3D data model of the object for display, wherein the first 3D data model of the object and the second 3D data model of the object are displayed at a given angle of the respective angles, and wherein the given angle represents the angle having the highest image difference score of the plurality of image difference scores.
