3d animated modell in processing

Silverjust

Is there a way to load for example an .obj and an animation-file into Processing
and let the modell do the animation?
Pshape shape = loadShape("data/terrain/crystal.obj");

I read that .dae-files can store an animation. Can I use them? And how?

maybe use a lib

On wikipedia are no java libraries, but I found one:
javacollada.sourceforge.net/
But how do I render the 3-D model in processing?
The library can only render to OpenGL as far as I know.

There is also a Library for processing:
die-seite.ch/?colladaloader
But there is an error when I start the example files.

Do you know how collada works? What is stored inside a .dae-file?
Does it contain the complete model and textures and animation
or do I have to combine it with an .obj or a texture-file?
