I'm working on a forest scene that is backlit and I am running into a weird issue. The sun disc is visible when a tree goes in front of it in my animation.
I went to Atmosphere and checked the receive shadows from surfaces button, but the disc is still visible. I am doing a dynamic population for my tree objects not single places objects.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Can you post a screenshot of the rendered result?
If you have cloud layers that render in front of the trees (e.g. for mist), you'd need to enable "receive shadows from surfaces" on those cloud layer too, not just the atmosphere. You don't need it for clouds that are above/behind the trees, however.

Yep, that was it. I was using a low cloud layer to fog up the place. Thanks for the tip!
