Devin Sloan shares a tutorial for creating a sail that can be filled and affected by wind in Cinema 4D. The trick is to control the dynamic simulation somehow. Although admittedly, Devin notes that there is nothing earth-shattering in this tutorial, he provides a great introduction and overview for using Xpresso in C4D to drive dynamic simulations.
