I am not sure what you mean...the Voyager intro sequence?
Something like that, anyway...I hadn't thought of the "twirlers" though.

Yes, I could, and it would get rid of a lot of the problems with the 
large amount of transparent surfaces. It would also slow down with large 
numbers of particles, but it could possibly be much faster than 
transparent spheres...and I could optimize the blob pattern to make it a 
bit faster with large numbers of components. I will probably include 
this in the version I release.
