Displaying ANIMATION in a browser

CrazyGuy

I previously asked about displaying 3D models created in say, Blender, in a browser, now I want to know - is it possible to have an animation made in a 3D program be displayed in a browser? For example, a man walking, made in Max (or Blender) - which means bones will be used, and the model rigged...? What must I do?

Thanks for your replies.

currently there's not a way to do this in p5.js, but you might take a look at three.js which is really set up for super complex 3D tasks. Specifically at this article: https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#manual/introduction/Animation-system

Hang on - are THREE and p5 2 SEPARATE libraries? I'm gettting kinda confused here..... if I want to play the animation, which one do I use?

@CrazyGuy -- three.js is a completely separate project from p5.js.

It was suggested as an alternative if you are doing a project to display a 3D animation in-browser using JavaScript.
