How to show off details?

It's the deep shadowing effect that skylight's and domelights do that I think your asking about.

Most modelers who are not deeply into lighting use a dome light tool or skylight via Brazil, Vray, with a key light to help shape lighting direction and specular hits.

Some dome light tools by default have specular turned on which is what you don't normally want so uncheck your affect speculars if using a dome light or you'll get tiny specular hits on shiny specular objects.
