Possible, perhaps, by using negative strength blob components to thin the
webbing out.  So say you had several cylinders with spheres between then add
negative strength spheres above and below each of the positive strength
spheres.  Might have to up the cylinder strengths though.  But it might
work.
If not that then isosurfaces using a image map pigment for the function
should certainly work (maybe).
Or how about sphere sweeps?  If the spheres could be scaled and rotated
correctly enough.
