Direct lighting not burning terrain.

Recently I decided to redo my direct lighting, except when i hit burn terrain it does nothing. I was wondering if there was something i was missing that was causing it to not burn terrain.

I know my direct light is working because i munged it without burning the terrain and it is casting shadows in game. But for some reason it doesnt want to burn the terrain

This is how it looks with the old burn still on it, but the new direct sun still operating to cast shadows in game.

And this is what it looked like after i hit the burn the terrain button with the new direct light.

You also have to set your Top/Bottom Ambient Colors to something darker. I also recommend you set the bottom lower than the top for shading reasons.
