A few other thoughts... If the light source was directly behind a tree trunk and if your camera angle was narrow you may not have been able to see its effect on other trees to the side and the ones behind may have been screened by the front tree's foliage. Can't remember if foliage in Vue 4 came with the backlight effect turned on or off (see the materials effects tab for the leaf material in the material editor). If its off you wont see light shining through the leaves only on surfaces that face you and receive light. Sometimes I find in Vue that several less powerful light sources give a stronger overal effect than one very powerful light. The sunlight source in the moon night atmosphere can be quite overpowering and may have been masking the effect of your other light source. Hope these help.
