In some situations, yes, translucent spheres will serve, but not in all. An example is showing a ball and stick structure with dots around it. A translucent surface would work there, but dots is an easier/simpler solution, I think. It also has quite a distinctive look. Translucent spheres also are limited mostly to the old translucency setting (translucent -1) because the new settings, while perfect for other renderings, make spheres look like bubbles - very hard to interpret.

It's a nay. Anything other than dots you can use? translucent spheres?

Searching for whether Jmol dots density is variable, I came up with
this request for it (below). Was there a 'yea' or 'nay' on this? I
vote 'yea' if the polls are still open....

One nice feature of Chime/RasMol was the ability to change the density
of dots. This was very useful when zooming in to show, for example,
interacting protein side chains.

In Jmol, with the current dots option (fixed density), it is difficult
to see the dots at high levels of zoom.

Are there others who would like to see a variable dots density option? If so, would there be a way to fit this in with the development team's
plans for future releases?

Just a suggestion.

Cheers,
David
