    Hi,

    So i am having an issue where the ambient light seems to be illuminating areas i would expect to be darker.

    I have a directional light shining in (bottom right) but the ambient light from both a HDRI and Physically based sky shines though objects.

    Here are the lighting settings:

    I'm also using the volume settings from the sample scene demo and I'm using Unity 2021.1.9f1

    I'm new to HDRP so i feel I'm missing something, any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I had shadows enabled but the reflection probes solved it for me. However your video is very informative and it has helped me understand a few things better, thanks!
