can not see polypaint in main window on objects

Hello I have a noob question that I cannot figure out. I have a character that I want to start polypainting, however all of a sudden I cannot see color on my model. It is updating the color in the sub tools, and it will update the material, but everything stays a dark gray color. What am I doing wrong?

Please help

Go to Tool>Polypaint and click the colorize button.

I went to tool>polypaint>colorize and it is already clicked on. It seems not to work.

Colorize looks like it might already be on based on the paintbrush icon and the thumbnail. I had this problem quite frequently with z4r2b, buth with R3 I’ve been more lucky. What version are you using?

I am using 4R3. Any other suggestions? This is quite frustrating. Is this a Zbrush bug?

Go to Tool > Texture Map and make sure you don’t have a texture turned on.

The texture is not on. I have already uv mapped it in Maya, but the texture is not on. I can even click “new uv from polypaint” and it will update the little window, but will not update the large preview window. I turn the texture completely off, and still nothing. UGH!!

Like I said, this happened all of a sudden too, so I wonder if its a bug. Unfortunately I don’t think reinstalling zbrush will work for this. Anybody else have this issue.
