Pawel goes through terrain, lighting, settings, etc and then finishes off with the post production.
3D Max… then V-ray or Mental Ray!
You might have seen Dan Jürgens and Zac Arato’s post on www.nzdan.com?

There have been quite a few times when we have been required to make some rather complex shapes and cutouts for illustrations. Either intricate wooden carvings, or complex signage panels. Now while I prefer to model as much as possible, sometimes modeling 20 individual signage panels, or creating an intricate model of a screen panel isn’t practical, especially when [...]

One of the major advantages of MAX is the plethora of free scripts out there. There are scripts for everything, from painting tools to scripts that create wierd shapes, and even some that allow for creating entire buildings parametrically.
