Align environement texture to sun light

This is a bit of an advanced feature, but could be useful: when importing an environement texture as world, analyze it to get where the sun (mail light) is, then look for a sun light in the scene and try to match them.

This way, one could easily mock the key light using a standard sun light, then use LilySurfaceScrapper to replace this sun light with an environement map.

I haven't tried it out, but this addon exists. Having an aligned HDRI + sun is very nice for EEVEE as the sun will cast shadows.

Actually, the sun position addon which ships with Blender already does this. image
