With the vertices selected, you can now scale them by pressing the S key and moving your cursor around. Move it to where you want and click again to place it.

Press A to deselect everything, and then CTRL+R to enter "loop cut" mode. With our cylinder selected, hit TAB to toggle edit mode. You can also set an angle threshold for the smoothing by pressing "Auto Smooth" in the "Object Data" tab (which looks like a triangle). To make it even smoother, you can press the little button which says "Smooth" in the middle of the left toolbar, under "Shading" - this makes the model look smooth by averaging the normals without actually adding any more geometry. You will notice how the cylinder looks more smooth. You can also just press CTRL+1 to add it automatically. Press the tab which looks like a wrench in the menu to the right, press "Add Modifier", and select "Subdivision Surface". To make it easier to create smooth shapes, we will be using a Subdivision Surface modifier, which essentially smooths the mesh while adding more polygons.

Next, hit Shift+A to open the "Create" menu, go into "Mesh" and select "Cylinder". To start off, press the A key to select everything, then press X for delete, and click to confirm. If you already have a model which you want to export, you can skip this part.

For this tutorial, I'll make a simple wine glass without going too much in details on how to use the Blender UI - therefore i recommend that you at least watch the first two episodes of the series i linked before you start. My plan is to later create a tutorial on 3D modeling techniques as well. For now, just click the button that says "Download or Clone" and press "Download Zip". The readme contains most of the instructions covered in this tutorial and is good for quick reference. Once you have installed Blender, visit the github page for the MDL exporter.
