I would recommend to simply put the semi-transparent 3D rendering in front of the slice view, but for example you can make the red slice view transparent by copy-pasting this to the Python console (before showing the slice view in 3D):

`getNode("Red Volume Slice").GetDisplayNode().SetOpacity(0.5)`

See some discussion about this feature here: [Can the image slices be made semi-transparent in 3D view?](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/3d-view-can-the-image-slices-be-made-semi-transparent/8713)
