RudySchneider:
The Manual is a great source of information, but only if you bother to read it!  Not only does it provide a great deal of information about using various tools to create objects, it specifies how to "build" scenes.

In a nutshell, in Scene Mode, click on Build > Add Object, and select the object(s) you want to add (one object at a time).  Then, you can keyframe camera and/or object motion to render individual frames or entire animation sequences.

BTW, besides reading the manual, the tutorials are an excellent way to learn the basics, too.

Rudy,

      I think that i'm doing something rong ,because i did that balls and changed the name in the settings , but when i started a new scene and on Build > Add Object, only 1 line wrote "object1" is showed and when i choose that line nothing happens.

When learning anything new, it's always best to start out simple and work your way up.  For instance, 
1.  Start a New Project, and model just ONE ball.  Make sure it's centered at the origin in Object mode (select it, and click Edit > Locate > Center about Origin. 
2.  You can change the name of the object.  Click Settings > Object...  This opens the Object Editor dialog box.  You can type in a suitable name (like "Ball").
3.  Change to Scene mode and click Build > Add Object.  Select the object "Ball" and click OK.  The Ball object should appear centered at the origin in the scene.  If you can't see it, try changing your view.  Click View > All.  This should show you te Front, Top, and Left views, plus the camera view.

Other things to check:
1.  Make certain you've selected Smooth Shaded as your display mode (Ctrl-S).
2.  Open the Viewport Editor (View > Preferences), and make sure you've click-selected the Smooth, Textures, MipMaps, Transparency, Fog, and Backside options for OpenGL Workspace.

Hope this helps...
