Everything shows up pink in Cycles

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Hi,
I’m still very new and inexperienced when it comes to blender, so this might just be a problem with a simple fix that I didn’t see, so sorry if it is
When I changed my scene to Cycles after modelling to start applying some materials, everything looks pink, even though there are no pink light sources. I looked it up and the only solutions I can find relate to a missing texture input, and I haven’t even started texturing anything so if that’s the problem I must have done something unknowingly.

I got the idea to try appending all of the objects to another blend file, but when I do cycles just renders it in a very odd cel-shaded like fashion

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pink ususally indicates that something like a texture can not be found. Are you using an hdri for lighting which can not be found?

This fixed my issue, thank you!
I’m guessing I started making a sky late at night and then woke up and forgot about it, leaving the sky with no image texture or anything to go off of.

If it is the hdri for you environment go to the shading editor and set the drop down that says “Object” to “World”.
Here you can see the environment shader which might contain a missing hdri.
Give it the correct path or put in a different hdri.
