Is there anyway of doing realistic ripples/water movement caused by a moving object in Cinema 4D, even with 3rd party plugins?

Note that the Delay Effector is set to Deform> Points.
I have to check some other ideas, with Fields for example, but I would certainly encourage you to have a look into X-Particles since you asked about 3rd to be included in the options.
