We used Hausdorff distance to compare 3D shapes in model:experiment in this paper:

Some spatial frequency approach might help you quantify the 'bumpiness' separate from the 'shape'.

Guiding Cell Network Assembly using Shape‐Morphing Hydrogels
Choreographed movement of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) is a common, yet under-engineered tissue-building process. Shape-changing metamaterials (“kinomorphs”) made from precisely patterned cel...
