Connect the bump texture map to the bump of the Standard Surface.

thanks helping out Lee, The tried the bump files but still not have a chance on it. Here is the photo after adding bump files.

Butyou were right there was no bumpfiles attached to model. So I made a 2d bump file seleckted the file named with bump (which there was 2 file just selected one of it...) and attached the bump file to Camera at Ai standard surface shader...

What am I doing wrong ?Thanks for the tutorials I already studied them...

There is a bump mapping attribute under geometry. Just click on that.

Can you post the textures or screengrab them in the Hypershade? It's a bump map and not a normal map right?

Your lighting is very flat compared to the mental ray render which probably isn't helping the bump map. Try connecting a Physical Sky to a skydome light and see how it affects the shading.

Hey @Lee Griggs thanks for your effort. So I have added physical sky and it looks better. But still not so close what you think?

also after adding bump maps, in viewport 2.0 it shows model a little weird
