If you can make do with spheres and cylinders, blobs might save you some 
space.

If there are repeating structures, using blobs or meshes is the way to 
go, as these can be duplicated without copying all the data.

Alternatively, try rendering the image in "slices" of different depth in 
front of a transparent background (don't forget to enable alpha channel 
for the output image), and then overlaying the images in Photoshop or 
the like.
