Its very easy, and any image can be used. You can get images from the library in 3D Max (if you installed it) or Google images or anywhere off the web.

When in max the quickest way is to press "8" on the keyboard, (the top set of numbers not the side)

Then the box on the left will pop up, to simply change the colour of the background click on the black square (highlighted in blue) and then choose a colour. If you would like to have a picture as the background, such as a sunny sky or building backdrop then you click on the box highlighted in Red, then the box highlighted in purple will pop up, then double click on the "Bitmap" option, highlighted in yellow.

Then find where you saved the image you want as the background, then select and choose it.
