I can't seem to get the maya cloth settings to work correctly. I want to make the cloth be blown (deformed) by the "wind" in my scene, but it does not work. maybe I set it up wrong.
Are there any tutorials/tips for helping me set this up properly?

are you doing it with the air field?
did you put the force direction?
have you connected the field with the cloth object?

The most likely cause is that you have not attached the wind field correctly to your cloth object. Fields are not attached to cloth the same way that they are attached to particles or other dynamics objcets. You have to add a Field Constraint to the cloth object. If I remember right, you have to select the cloth and the field, and then go to 'Constraints/Field' on the cloth menus. Take a look at the cloth manual to see exactly how it works.

Hope this helps.
