The Coarse Molecular Surface (cMS) representation generated by ePMV can provide nice base geometry that you can use to make surfaces ranging from lumpy/atomistic to nearly completely spherical. At the end of this video, if I had added a polygon reduction deformer to the cMS and then reduced the gridSize value even more, e.g. to 4 or 8 (and then likely increased the subDivSurf back to 2 or 3, I would have a very smooth/rounded surface.
