Look there, well, i have some questions. How do i start splines? Because i cant find them anywhere, and i cant find a detailed tutorial for it either, and then, how should i start with the first polygon(please look thru the tutorial then you will know what i mean), should i start with a plane? How do i then add more polygons? Should i cut and cut?(Doesnt that take a life time?) And the extruding, i cant understand it really, it just take out or in and i dont know whats it good for.

So please, anyone, help me. I dont want links for tutorials(Or yes i want, but i would be very happy if you could go thru them with me step by step, i would be very gratefull) Thanx.

I have made the spline work now, got really good i think, but how should i start with a new polygon and then make more from it? (a good method please)

Under standard primitives, create a 'Plane' - then in edge mode, select and extrude edges. The Joan of Arc tut is probably a good place to start.
