At any rate, the rendering will not be ideal, since for proper (and much

into manually setting up a POV-Ray job for this.

Though Chimera doesn't currently do ambient occlusion, turning on shadows can add a good sense of depth to a surface depiction. You turn on shadows by bringing up the Side View (Favorites->Side View) and then clicking on its Effects tab. In that tab there is a check button for turning on shadows.
