In Unity the lesson has a HDR/skylight, but mine is only a blue color all around?

Dov, try this

1.) Click on Main Camera in the Hierarchy Window 2.) In the Inspector Window click on the Camera Component 3.) There is a field called Clear Flags, check to see that this is set to "Skybox". 4.) This should solve your problem.

Currently, it sounds like you have the "Clear Flags" field set to "Solid Color".

I tried that, it didn't change anything, is there something else I need to change? I tried using the HDR checkbox and it said it isn't supported, do you have any clue?

What is the Rendering Mode that you are using on your camera? I am using "Use Player Settings".

If you look at the bottom of this page - https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HDR.html,

you will see that HDR is not supported in certain rendering modes. Could that be it?

I have all of those settings selected, but it says HDR is not supported, I have an Nvidia 940m in my computer, how canI get the HDR to be supported (or what render mode should I be in and how can I change between them).

I am not sure. What type of computer are using using?

If you open up a new Unity scene what Skybox and Rendering Mode settings do you see?
