Tree ways:
1 - use normals. Fast. Only affect the aspect of the surfaces, the edges will 
still be straight.
2 - use mesh objects, one for the nodes and one for the rods. Rotate them 
randomly. Fast and as you are reusing the mesh, you only use the memory for the 
two of them plus some pointers.
3 - use some isosurfaces. Sit down as it will be sloooooooooow!
