I haven't played too much with animation, but suppose you could. It's not going
to look too fantastic if you do a close up of those streams, since they're made
of cones and spheres. You'd definitely be able to tell that up close.

I've thought that maybe I could switch to building a mesh for the streams
instead; that would probably yield better close-up potential.

At the moment, it takes about half a second per stream to parse. There are about
100 streams in this render. If I don't have other settings cranked up too high,
render times are just a few minutes right now.
