Kaldera's a commercial plugin for texture baking.

Natively, Max6 cannot create normal-maps (well, not by Render-to-Texture... you could do flat maps by taking viewport screengrabs with sneaky material setups, but nothing complex)

If you want to do a full model, you'll have to export and use Melody, Orb, or Doom3's renderbump. Or buy Kaldera.
