I'm actually generating the faces (by simple recursive subdivision).
I then draw cylinders along the edges of each face, and spheres at the
corners. That actually means that each visible sphere is really as many
as six coincident POV spheres, but the scene renders fast enough that
I've not bothered removing the duplication.
