I'm on my mobile at the moment so I can't really get a good look at what's going on. I can tell you the your quality settings are already more than high enough it looks like.
If you can send me your file david@ simplymaya.com and I'll take a look when I get back on a desktop machine tomorrow. I don't need the textures btw.
