Just to correct you here Stephen, Redshift has been able to render other shaped strands for a long time (18 months at the very least).
It was very picky for a while about having the necessary clean and valid StrandOrientation and StrandSize attributes and the like, which might have been why yours didn't render. Strands are very robust in Redshift IMO.
