Nah, guess I oversimplified.
I put around 30 points in a spline to give a decent 2D XZ object, then
tweaked the Y values around the crossover points. Spline range is 0 to
1 and all I then had to do was put a sphere every 0.0005 along the
path.

Guess I could have used sphere_sweep but didn't think of that.
