Starting with R3.2 the new High Quality AO can render a much higher AO Radius, which is perfect for indoor scenes together with indirect lighting.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
This is only available when the <mark style="color:blue;">Scene Quality</mark> option is higher than low quality.
{% endhint %}

## **Wind**

You can set the <mark style="color:blue;">wind direction</mark>, <mark style="color:blue;">elevation</mark>, and <mark style="color:blue;">speed</mark> to adjust the [Lighting Fog & Haze](/depence-rendering/depence-render-settings/depence-lighting.md#fog-and-haze) rendering.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.depence.com/depence-rendering/depence-render-settings/depence-scene.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
