Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

But to be honest it would help to see what shape you are trying to model because it's hard to suggest anything from just the images you've posted.
I see lots of tri's and really long slim poly faces which are going to pinch and crease.
You should avoid long slender poly faces and narrow triangular faces on a curved surface.

here are two renders with default settings - physical Sun & sky with simple exposure, then with the photographic node.
If anyone knows how to get good results with the photographic - do share.
