in material editor, i open maps, opacity, then add the bitmap. am i doing this wrong? it shows up in the all 4 views and wat not but when i do a quick render it renders in grayscale. my question is how do i make the bitmap show up in color via the render?

click on your object..      then  push the key M

then you clik on the little gray button next to the diffuse color and get you  texture..

then you will se a checkerd blue/white box when you move you mouse over it it says (show map in viewport)   click that.

then  click another little icon that has a blue ball/white square  that says (assign material to selection) when you move the mouse over it..

It sounds to me like u haven’t applied a UVW Map to your disp map?
It will render Gray if u haven’t

Well he's made more than 50% of the bike models out there. So I think he is a 3D max guy?
