Zbrush won't sculpt...

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

So I was working on sculpting a model. I activated something (I think?). Some mode that makes me not able to sculpt anymore.
When I click on the model to sculpt now it just rotates. Also The model looks very flat very flat lighting. And I can’t change the material. If I change to a matcap or a standard material it looks exactly the same.

Its very frustrating. And help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I’m on Windows 7.
Dual Intel Xeon E5405 2GHz Processors

It looks like you have Render > Flat selected. Select Render > Preview instead.

Just checked.
Render: flat
is not selected. Although when I turn it on it makes not difference in the image besides changing the background to gray.

Another thing to try is the following:

  1. Exit Edit mode.
  2. Clear the canvas.
  3. Make sure that the model is selected in the Tool palette.
  4. Check your Draw settings. It should be Mrgb and Zadd. If it’s anything else, the object will be drawn oddly – with results that often look just like what your screen shot shows.
  5. Once the settings have been verified as accurate, draw the model on the canvas and enter Edit mode. It should now look and behave normally.

I tired what you said Aurick.
It helped a tiny bit. As you can see in the screenshot, there is now a tiny bit of black edging at the top. But I still can’t sculpt because when I click ton the model to sculpt it just spins and rotates.

I am also having this issue; it also appeared out of nowhere for me. was it ever determined what froze your sculpting ability?
