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.

are you using raytrace shadows? ( I assume so. ) You may need to increase your alpha gain or something.

hmm, what about instead of using alpha channels, using a regular transparancy map?
