With the Maya nCloth feature, you can create dynamic cloth effects in Maya .
nCloth is built on a dynamic simulation framework called Maya Nucleus



To make a polygon mesh nCloth : Select nCloth > Create nCloth



Play back the clothˇ¦s simulation , The cloth falls downward through the air.



Make his hand to a passive object : Select nCloth > Create Passive



Select the flag > Right-click the cloth and select Vertex from the context-sensitive menu that appears.
Shift select the hand , Select nConstraint > Point to Surface.
Play back the cloth's simulation , One Hand is now holding the cloth.

Repeat above step to other hand .



To make nCloth appear to wave and flap in the wind:
Select the cloth. > Open the Attribute Editor and select the nClothShape tab.
In the Surface Properties section, increase Lift and Drag.



Select the nucleus tab.
In the Gravity and Wind section, increase the Wind Speed or even change the wind direction



nCloth is a fast and stable dynamic cloth solution that uses a system of linked particles to simulate a wide variety of dynamic polygon surfaces, such as fabric clothing, inflating balloons, shattering surfaces, and deformable objects.
