Smoothing?

I'm making an assault gunboat vehicle, and it's supposed to be angular.
However, when I render preview it in XSI, it seems to have been smoothed out. Is there a way to "unsmooth" it?

Can you post a picture of the render preview and one of the wireframe of the model ?

i cant see the images at all but i do know what you can do to make it more angular, you can mark hard edges which will make a crease in the edges to give it definition, here look at the screens...

see how theyre dark blue? theyre marked as hard edges and all you do is simply select the edges you want and mark them...
