    Render an Ambient Occlusion map (lighttracer), make a cavity map out of the normal (sorry I don't have the link atm :/) and make a few base textures from photos. The paint, overlay, ... the way you like.

    Or don't listen to what I say and take a look at this: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=373024

    Thanks but I cant do Ambient Occlusion map as I only have max 7 and I think you need max 8 and above ?

    No, you just render the lighting (or was it shadow?) map via the render to texture function... it works with Max 7.

    (Sorry if my advices are kinda stupid, I haven't done this in months :/).
