well...what I'm actually trying to do is simulate brush laying
in a metal torch type frame.

So I guess detail wouldn't matter...I could probalby even
just make a good enough texture/material that might work,
as the flame will probably cancel out any detail of the sticks
anyways.

just wonderin' if someone else had already come up with
(as you put it) some simple, elegant solution already.
