Milk Shape 3D help
polycounter lvl 18
Do any of you know how to use cut brushes in Milk Shape 3D. What I mean is how do I cut a 3D section out of a 3D shape by intersecting 2 brushes and cutting the shape of one out of the other?
...I hope that made sence...

Those are pretty much all you need to do most 3d tasks, and they are both free.
If you need more than that look here, but it might cost a bit for some of the alternatives:

I made that in MilkShape, so I don't know if you can dismiss it entirely......note the critizism by Paul Steed.
Basically, MilkShape has a Edit Mesh system as opposed to a Edit Poly system. Edit Mesh is Tri Poly. Edit Poly is Quad Poly. Quad Poly systems use Edge Loops in Max or Split Polygon Tool in Maya.
The same method that Paul Steed uses in his book could be applied to MilkShape, but the Edit Mesh system is now considered archaic. People like the Edit Poly system.

Brushes are simply boxes that one can shape into whatever rectangular form that is needed.

The terminolgy 'brushes' thru me off.
Basically, what you're asking for is how do you cut a single polygon face into mulitple faces in MilkShape. That requires spliting vertices and turning edges.
In other packages people prefer using Edge Loops. Split Polygon Tool in Maya does the samething.
[Edit]If you wanna get mad at a software, try making something in MetaCreations InfiniD[/Edit]

Basically, Press the Shift and ALT button at same time - In Perspetive View Select 2 Vertices on the Same Path - Goto Vertex - Divide Edge.
You can use the CapLock button to rotate view in Perspective View. As long as the Shift and ALT button pressed down you can select multiple vertices in Perspective View, or multiple faces in Ortho View.
Press the Shift and ALT button and Select 2 adjacent triangle polygon faces in ortho view - Select Face - Turn Edge for desired symmetry.
It looks like you know what you're doing, so I'm not certain if you already know this?
