Indeed. Also symmetry atoms, atom labels, generic labels and graphics
objects are missing (sad to say).

I'll add in bones and graphics objects to the spec for 0.5.

I think that it can be done post-hoc in the raster3d file header.
Perhaps by increasing the ambient light?

http://skuld.bmsc.washington.edu/raster3d/html/render.html

Either that or by adjusting the gamma ramp with the gimp or some such.

Perhaps just widening the clipping planes will reduce the fogging. But
if you mean: can the fogging be decoupled from the clipping in Coot?
then no, you can't do that.

That I find surprising.
