How about posting an image of what your wanting to model ? Knowing the final use of the model would also be helpful. Help us help you.

Short answer is you need to make a greyscale image in a photo editing software and save it as a .bmp file ( bitmap ). You could then use the
ThomThom plug-in “Bitmap to Mesh” to create the 3D mesh from the image.

under Windows you can use e.g. the free Paint.NET, the free XnView viewer can do this too.
