Other than Tricaster doesnt do 3d virtual sets that his client want to use,
it only does a nodal pan on a static image of a studio setup. Or at least
that is the only way to do it in the Tricaster we have for small live web
productions

There are other live solutions that does real 3d studios, with realtime
tracking of camera, but they are all very expensive as far as i know.

...regarding the slow nonrealtime AE solution... Element3d does import
.obj, but you wont get any material setup for you automatic this way, you
have to reshade the whole setup. And be prepared to go back to a 3d program
and fix polygons that will triangulate (!) wrong in element. I have found
importing the .obj into Cinema4d Lite and saving it as an .c4d will be read
more correctly in Element than a straight .obj. Well my only real use of
the bundled Cinema4d yet :-)
