My solution: don’t use the sun. You could use a directional light and highlight glossiness 1 everywhere (no highlight visible). In my eyes, the physical sky sun isn’t the best - to bright, not easy to sample at blury reflections, not enough control (on/off at reflections, switch between reflection/highlight mode).

I like the physical sky but that means I have to completely revise scene

thanks for your help master micha

By the way however I turn the model (like 120 degrees), the sun is still there
Shouldn’t the sun disappear somehow when I turn the scene

I’m not sure what you mean by turning the scene, but best check that the environment sky isn’t conected to the default light only.

I meant rotating the view
What you meant by “environment sky isn’t conected to the default light only”

Ah, I understand - your sky is connected to the “default” light that is allways be hind the camera. You must go to the sky properties and select the sun from the list of exist sun lights of the scene.
