@Rayraz,

In max all you can do is either put a starfield as the environment background or on a plane (multiple planes?). You still need to create the starfield in the first place, you can get a vaguely star like procedural using composites / blends of cellular and speckle maps, but it's more hassle then painting one in the gimp or photoshop.....(check out that greg martin tut or take a trip to solarvoyager.com)
