Is there a workaround to enable levels of opacity between 0 and 1 for LIC surfaces?
I’ve tried a few, but had so far no success…

I didn’t, but if you really need it you could split your approach and generate two images, only one of which has the LIC and then apply it as an overlay with imagemagick… it may become tricky if you have objects coming in front of your LIC surface…

if you only want one frame, then streamlines would most likely do a much better job here
