I havnt dont anything like this in ages, but its done in GMAX. You open the material editor but instead of applying a colour, you open the file system, and select a bitmap.

Then on the item your applying to, use the modifier called UUV mesh or somthing like that (if my memory is still working)

That should get you started!

You can google for more tutorials on this kind of thing.
