How did you "view it with VMD"? What do you mean by "bad plot"?
Typically what you (or at least I) do when you want to visualize
volumetric data like solvent distributions, you first load the prmtop
and coordinate file into VMD so you can see the molecule. Then, you
load the .xplor or .dx grid on top of that molecule as volumetric data.
In the representations section of VMD, you can control the isovalue of
the volumetric data, which will adjust the value of the density at each
of the points on the surface.
