How could RenderToolbox3 work with Sintel movie scenes? #12

The Sintel animated film was made with Blender. Some users would like to render stills from this and similar movies using RenderToolbox3.

The Sintel data are available for download: http://www.sintel.org/news/sintel-full-studio-svn-online/

But they are large and cumbersome.

There is a "lite" version that is limited but less cumbersome: http://www.blendswap.com/blends/characters/sintel-lite-cycles-v2/

Blender can make Collada outputs from the lite version. But the Collada files use features that Mitsuba and RenderToolbox3 don't know about, like rigging and animations.

Is there a straightforward way to convert Collada rigging to static geometry?
