Materials not appearing? Only flat color.

Hey all,

I'm new-ish to ZBrush, so maybe this is obvious (I couldn't find this specific issue in the archives).

I'm painting a Cacodemon, but somehow I managed to have the materials disappear, with only some preliminary painting remaining. There is no detail.

However, when I look in my ZTool tray, I can see in the thumbnail that it recognizes the original material detail. Did I make some obvious mistake here?

I'm also noticing that any project I open, even after restarting is without shading.

Typically the solution to flat shaded tools is one of these three options. However, if the problem persists regardless of restarting the program and opening different (default) projects, then likely neither one of them will be the solution. I'm not sure what kind of gremlin would give the issue that level of persistence. 

• Make sure MGRB is on and set to 100 before drawing any tool onto the document. 
• Make sure you have a material selected other than the Flat material. 
• Make sure the Render mode is not set to flat.
