Maybe I don't understand your question.

Would neither of these be solutions?

#local I=0;#while(I<12)
         cylinder {
		0,
		<0,1,0>,
		.02
		rotate < I*30, 0, 0 >
		pigment { Blue }
	}
#local I=I+1;#end

#local I=0;#while(I<90)
         cylinder {
		0,
		< 0, sin(I*pi/6), cos(I*pi/6) >,
		.02
		pigment { Red }
	}
#local I=I+1;#end
