Materials getting stuck in the subtool and I cant change it

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I have noticed that some times materials get stuck in the subtool. I can not change to other materials painting with materials or fill object. I’m sure that “m” is active when trying to fill with material. Collapsing subdivisions or layers doesn’t help. The only thing that helps is deactivating the bitmap texture visualization, and not always. But it returns to the same material when I activate the texture again.
Anybody else having this problem and any workaround?

Thanks

If you have a texture map applied to a subtool then it can hide the material if it has an embedded material. Materials can be embedded in a texture map when creating the map from polypaint when material have also been used, or by pressing the Tool>Texture Map>Fill>Fill Mat button.

You can get rid of the embedded material from the texture map by:

  1. Selecting the Flat Color material.
  2. With the texture map turned on, pressing Tool>Texture Map>Fill>Fill Mat.
