If you load your image as a segmentation (in “Add data” popup window, choose “Segmentation” in the description column) then you get a lot more visualization options - smoothing, opacity, etc. You can also apply further smoothing, thickening, etc. in Segment Editor module.

For additional improvements in appearance, you can use Lights module in Sandbox extension. Especially [“ambient shadows”](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-feature-surface-rendering-with-ambient-shadows-for-improved-depth-perception/16903) may make a big difference.
