EPS support transparency, but only for vector graphics. Vector graphics is good solution for 2D figures, in 3D, raster figures are more often used. My advice is similar to the one from Anders. Arrange view in your visualization software (eg. Paraview). Take a screenshot. Use Gimp to crop figure, you can also add transparency if you need it. Save in PNG. regrd.
