Blitz3D fully supports bmp images as well as other formats.

The simple answer is

MyImg = LoadImage("C:\Folder\MyImage.bmp")

but ofc depends what you are trying to achieve? Perhaps you could explain more? For example, if you want to use the image as a texture on a 3D object you would use

MyTex = LoadTexture("C:\Folder\MyImage.bmp")

There are loads of flags to consider too, like if you want use transparency etc.

..and then you need to display the image on the screen somehow, but this depends on what you are trying to achieve?

Does that help any?
