Omni Lighting
Omni lighting is used mostly indoors for buildings.
If you make a model building with an interior it will need omni lighting for it or it will be all black/dark inside at night.
Open 3DMax, import your building, click the light icon.
Click on Omni button.
On the right you have the options to set it up.
