Quote - I'm trying to make a piece of cloth look like it's blowing in the wind.  It's just a plane that's been subdivided a bunch of times and pinned at two corners, and when I run the cloth simulation it falls and hangs by those corners.  I want it to also look like there's some wind from right to left.  I can sort of get this effect by having gravity along x or y as well as z, but those are constant, so they get into a stable state and just stop and it doesn't seem to be possible to animate them.  I've also added a wind physics object, but it doesn't seem to do anything to the cloth or even to particles.  Is there a way to get the cloth to react to the wind?

Only thing I can think of is.. they need to be on the same layer.

I just tried it and it works for me.  Not sure why it's not for you.  I emailed the file to you.
