btw.. where is the "animate" button on max 6? max 3 had the beeeg one

On the Create panel, click the drop-down arrow and choose Compound Objects from the list.

Click Boolean.
use an object to subtract the materal away to give you the look your wanting then make a texture in photo shop save a 2nd image in grayscale
mode save as bmp file formate then in levels brighten & darken the areas more use this in the bump map roll out for the mat.

thats crown molding i build furniture for a liveing there may be plug ins for 3dsmax for building this molding like for desigeners of buildings.
