how does one model without primitives ???

there are many ways to start without primitives. You can lathe, extrude or fill a spline... Or you can start with nothing and start building the mesh from the first point... It's up to you to choose the best solution for the a particular model.

One way is poly-by-poly modeling where you use the add edge tool and draw each edge yourself, then fill the faces.  You can combine this with edge extrusions.  Many people use a combination of box modeling, poly-by-poly modeling and edge extrusion depending on what they're trying to do.

almost cool, almost correct :D
Make a path using the 'Straight Path' tool and then Build->Lathe/Extrude/Fill
But fill is usually only used for a text.

DAMN! My stupid internet made my post come after everyone else's, I made this post 2 hours ago! >:(

EcoTyler:  Comments like "sweeet" "man I sounded dorky when I said that" and "lolz"  first of all don't add anything to the thread.  You aren't adding any additional information, you're not giving any real comment or criticism either.  These comments are fine for conversations on AIM or myspace, but this is a civilized art forum where I feel we should all be able to act and speak/write professionally or at least with a purpose that makes sense.
I'm not picking on you or trying to be rude, but these comments do get on my nerves.  They don't make any contribution to the topic whatsoever, and they look very unprofessional.  I understand you're 11 or 12, but that doesn't have anything to do with your ability to type comprehensible sentences.  Thanks.

You can use sites like Savefile or Box.net to upload your files, you can then provide us with the download link so that people can upload the image.  Don't depend on the space provided here on this website.  There's very limited upload space, allowing only for very small images and files.  So take advantage of these sites.  You can upload very large images through sites such as Imageshack or Photobucket.  You can get a code then to paste into the text box for forums and people can view your larger images without the restrictions of this website.
