That would affect things, and produce a different visual effect, yes.
I'm currently wondering if the vibrations are purely (co)sine waves and their
harmonics, or if there's some catenary in there...

Getting something smoothly interpolated might require functions and
isosurfaces...   the ball-and-stick/string grid would be pretty cumbersome,
although if you had a lot of splines that were defined using arrays... still
pretty ugly.  I haven't had that much coffee yet, and I'm not sure how much free
time I'd have to work all of that out...   :O

We're almost getting into Finite Element Method territory here.   {shivers}
