General Help

I want to use Blender. Problem is my english is very bad.
Just want to ask if it is possible to take a .jpg into blender to build a 3d picture.

This goblet down should turn around. I would do this with Adobe ImageReady but I need different views from the goblet.
Can I produce this fews in Blender

You could trace the outline without the handles by using curves. Then you could spin it to get the base form: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/PartII/Basic_Mesh_Modelling#Spin

After that you could make the handles with curves and BevOb. Basically you would make a curve that is in the shape of the handle and set a circle curve to its BevOb:

Cause of this I can not use the tutorials.:smiley:

You can set your image as the background image of a 3D viewport. See View, Background Image in the 3D viewport’s header.
