Export OBJ file to photoshop WITH smoothing?

Hello all,

I am trying to export an object from a scene I created in Maya. Seems simple enough. I export my selection as an OBJ file and open it in Photoshop. The problem is it does not export with the smoothing feature on. If I check my export option for the OBJ file type the radio button next to smoothing in checked. It is a basic Chalice with textures and half way decent UV mapping. I would really like to play with it in Photoshop next. I suppose I can always save the render in the position I want and save as a PNG to preserve the transparency so it will function as a typical layer. THats an ok work around for now but I should be able to open and manipulate my 3D file in photoshop right? Any help would be great!

Thank you,
