What exactly happens when you import that .EPS file? Does Swift 3D freeze? report error? etc…

How complex is that .eps file? If it has too many shapes/colours, Swift 3D will probably not take it.

Export the image to .AI from photoshop. .AI is the standard vector form for Swift 3D…

You are aware of that Swift only could import vector eps?
