Here's the break in the rear engine block I was talking about when I tried to only subdivide and convert smooth mesh preview to polygons on the piece I wanted it to be sharpened up:

As you can see, lots of unnecessary polygons but still trying to figure out how I can get the render view to look as smooth as the smooth mesh preview does when I subdivide it to lvl 4.

Also, I don't have Mentalray for some reason even though I've used it once or twice before somehow o__O

In the render window, it shows that I have Maya Software, Maya Hardware, Maya Hardware 2.0, and Maya Vector.

I'm sure I just need to change a setting somewhere.
