I would say it is the other way around: if you model the geometry
based on reality then chances are better that you still get good results
after changing camera or lighting compared to just faking the effect.

But of course, there may be other reasons to prefer a different
approach. Since you are doing animation performance may be a factor.
In that case using a simple box with marble pattern, black / white
color_map and slight turbulence might work.
