Strange dark model/ZTool

I’ve got a troublesome ZTool the insists on remaining nearly black in the viewport. I’ve tried using Subtool Master to fill it with a light material (matcap and traditional) and a light color. There is some effect, but it remains unreasonably dark, as though it were covered by a strong masking layer. New textures, polypaint, all just show up really, really dark. Any ideas?

Can you tell us ‘how you got there’? Maybe post the .ztl file.

Try this:

  1. With your model in Edit mode, turn off Edit.
  2. Make sure the Rgb Intensity slider (at the top of the UI or in the Draw palette) is set to 100. Also check that the Mrgb button is on.
  3. Turn Edit back on.
