I would like to have help to plot 4d matrix in 3d. Is there anyone to help?

Dear all

I am dealing with three-dimensional patterns in MATLAB and I would like to visualize in three dimension. But, I am struggling on how to plot 3-dimensional matrix with fourth attribute. It's just 8X8X8 matrix. I tried with slice command as below and got the plot as shown in figure 1 which is not quite what I want.

close all;

obj = load('shadow.mat');% importing data 

dyzw = obj.dyzw;

slice(dyzw, [], [], 1:size(dyzw,3));
shading  interp

Figure 1:

Instead, I want to get similar to figure 2 but in color. This means I want to get rid of whole extent i.e. blue plate. I could not get any idea. I have tried contour3 and also tried to put contour image in layers but I am unable to figure out. Could you please help me in this regard. Figure 2:

I appreciate your advice. I have also attached data file in shadow.mat for your reference.

Thanks in advance
