I don't think so. And if I'm right, you're looking for a “vex” to “processing” translation.

What you could do is, after having implemented what you want in processing, just add a function, that exports every “frame” to an *.obj or *.ply file and then use a file node to read in the geometry. This is only valid if and only if you are not doing some interactive stuff processing is famous/used for.

Modules for that should be available from processing's own plug-in menu, under the 3D section. Don't have it at hand right now, to be more specific.

But there is some effort involved.

BTW: VEX is more of a Domain Specific Language, where processing is more a framework based on JAVA.

HTH
If you can't script/program it, it's no good at all !
