There are many ways to programmatically create different scenes.  X3DJSONLD and X3DJSAIL for example... 8)

You can also include a Script inside an X3D scene that provides variations.

Example: CreateVrmlFromStringRandomBoxes.x3d lets you click on text "Ten random boxes created at runtime" to see new updates each time.

So yes there are many powerful techniques available to authors.

Nodes in ParticleSet component have a lot of capability and variability.  We could use examples for the open-source archives, if someone wants to work on them.
