In my town street scene, I used an area light for the sun, and also
had trouble with it showing the effect... Finally I found that the area
size has to be *really* big for the default DomeSize of skylight.inc
I just did a quick test, adding this area light statement to the sun
light on "demo_outdoor.pov":
area_light 10000*x,10000*y,10,10 jitter adaptive 1 orient circular
and it worked nicely (I tried first with 1000 units, but the area
didn't show).
Hope this helps...
