1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a server, a search query, wherein the search query comprises a request for information about an object; determining a 3D model for the object based on the search query, wherein the 3D model comprises three-dimensional shape information about the object; generating and determining after the 3D model for the object has been determined, based on a plurality of stored images of the object, at least one applicable light field and at least one applicable viewing perspective, wherein in each of the stored images of the object, the object is lit by at least one respective light field and is imaged from a respective viewing perspective, wherein the plurality of stored images of the object are a variety of photographs or video frames of the object, wherein the at least one applicable light field is determined so as to substantially match lighting conditions of at least one of the stored images of the object, wherein the at least one applicable viewing perspective is determined so as to substantially match at least one viewing perspective of at least one of the stored images of the object; and transmitting, from the server, a search query result, wherein the search query result comprises the 3D model, the at least one applicable light field, and the at least one applicable viewing perspective.
