Sorry for my eng. in advance ;)

I have a creative task to make an application in Processing, that simulates (3d animation) wrinkling paper effect ( like this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1PMrkWu-ZU ), and responds on incoming parameters from max/msp, by OSC. MSP will be sending to app. info about transient attacks of freight train slowly moving sound. 

I'm new to Processing and absolutely have no idea where to begin with the first task (simulate wrinkle effect), but already have perfectly working msp patch.

What's the best way to realize it - will it be 3D app (smth. like dynamic meshes), or it would be easier to apply some "custom bumping" filters? And where is the best point to begin? 

Please help :)

Thank you.
