My first thoughts would be to make lots of spheres, like a "fake" sphere
sweep.  And then, my next feeling is that making lots of little cylinders from
point to point would also be worth looking at.  It will depend on the interval
you choose for your resolution.
    A hybrid of the two might also work- little cylinders from point to point
with a sphere at each point.

Cheers!
