lathe

first i created a line on illustrator to be the center of my object on layer one, then locked layer one and on layer 2 drew half the shape for a pawn to the right of the line with the pen tool. i deleted the line and imported the image into 3d max studio. i moved the pivot point to theleft of the object where the line was so that it will be in the center of the shape. then used the lathe tool which basically rotates the image around the pivot point to create a 3d image.

i then repeated this process to create a wineglass

looking at the wineglass the container section is oversized, which makes it look more like a goblet than a wineglass.
