Yeah, at first I was going to try a little something for alpha blending to make the thing look more like a transparent tube.

Then I got more interested in the "parts" of the tube than the tube itself.  Seeing as I particularly enjoy seeing the details of the whole, I  had to add a little space between the circles to see them.

Then I was getting a sense of elongation of the tube, and I wanted to see the elongation motion.  The randomness of the circles gives a little bit of an illusion of the circles moving, so that was good enough for this kid.
