Trees lighting up, even when spotlight is not on them

    I have a directional light in my scene, but with intensity turned all the way down to 0. I am trying to make something like Slender for a unity excursive, but this is really ruining the atmosphere. There are trees see-able even when I am not pointing a light at them!

    Help?!

    Don't use the Glowing Sycamore Tree model, unless you are doing something like Zangar marsh in Outlands, or a setting in San Francisco.

    Sorry...I'm no help at all :( So I just try to lighten the mood.

    No, I'm pretty noob at light mapping :) I'll give it a go, and see if it fixes it.

    Same problem here.

    Only at a couple of trees in my project.

    Maybe is some image effect on the camera?

    Thanks.

    EDIT:

    Found one solution (or temporary at least...).

    On each tree prefab that shows the issue, uncheck the ambient occlusion, then Refresh trees from terrain and there you go.

    If one has a better solution please post it here.
