        No it doesn’t replace the directional light. You can keep both, but if they’re on opposite sides of each other it may look weird to look up and see a sun like object in a darker area of the HDRI skybox. If you do keep both I would recommend trying to keep the image based sun in the same area as your directional light.

            watch the tutorial on environments I think it is in the lighting class, it is not explicitly labeled if I remember correctly though
