I want to know if there is any good tips/technique/tutorials that anyone could send my way on how to do proper lighting, environment, setup, texturing, for product display in 3D, I'm a Max user but I guess any tips that are not Max base would also be helpful!
Thanks!

To display your modeling skills it is best to use some kind of Dome lighting with Final Gather or Radiosity. I forget what is available in Max. Just your model the dome and a groundplane. Raise the Irradecence on the dome quite a bit. You can also play around with ambient occlusion for showing models. As far as enviroment lighting it is best to learn a 3 or 5 point lighting setup with one sun or main light and a couple fill lights. I hope this helps.
