Model creation
I have some experience in Hammer editing for games and stuff, but i'm new to maya and i want to learn it.
I need to model a sail, the type you would see on a yacht, and have it interact with wind in a way that I can specify without having to keyframe. What would be the best way of doing this?
Thanks for your time!

but my problem is not as much what to use, more how to use it.
i know how to make a nurbs plane and stuff, but i need to know how i wud shape it right using curves.
also, what is the difference between cv and ep curves?
thanks.

Just make your sail with a four sided curve that join up end to end, make a cloth object out of that and then constrain some of the cv's of that cloth object to your pole, maybe using locators for the joins. Ill post screens if you dont understand.
