Importing a 3d model and displaying it in a swing component

Question

I want to import a 3d model (preferably a wavefront obj file) and then be able to display that model in a swing component. From there I want to be able to move (translate) the model based on live input data.

Any suggestions on how this could be done?

Answer 1

I managed to load a local obj file with the j3d library using a slightly modified version of the code found here:
