You need to be more specific. What kind of daytime and nighttime effects? Indoor or outdoor? Artificial or natural light? Sunlight or overcast?

Strong directional/parallel/distant light for the sun, and a nice blue fill light with really soft shadows.

at 3dsmax i know that we can use photometric area lights or surface lights(at mentalray or vray doesnt matter) to make smooth shadows and blue colour to simulate moon and a big sphere to generate sky at night(blue but dark surface light again)
