The tricky part with Max is the set up, which can take a lot longer than is nice because the set up time is pretty long.
One Eyed Jack, it tended to do it with large hollowed out circular shapes in. I'm not actually meaning to diss Giles. I think its a fantastic tool, but it's still possible to make better looking lightmaps in other apps if you put in the effort.
Whether you need to produce better or not is arguable and may not be worth the effort with a simple engine like B3D where too realistic just makes the dynamic objects stand out as looking out of place.
