I can't use a Point Array as each particle has to be modelled as a 3D object with distinct geometry and orientation. The simulation includes particles of different arbitrary geometries (shapes with n-sided polygonal convex faces) and the orientations change from frame to frame. Instead of dealing with a large number of TransformGroups I just recreate the geometries for each frame.

Why not use just one geometry, which is a PointArray with 30,000 points in it, and instead of adding and removing the Geometries, just change the coordinates of the points in the array?
