CGTalk - soft body problem

When I make a nurbs sphere, make that into a soft body using 'make soft' in the dialogue, and then add a turbulence field, it works fine. It deforms. When I make the soft body using 'duplicate,make copy soft' the turbulence only has a very slight effect. Almost not noticeable. I think I accidentally changed a global setting somewhere. Anyone know what could cause this? The only thing in the scene is this sphere.

it's beacuse when you duplicate and make copy soft what happens is the copy uses the original as the target... thus it's the goal weight that's reducing your turbulence effect, simply put because the softbody is trying to return to the original shape. you can either lower the goal ammount to make it "softer" or up the smoothing, or just not bother using duplicate.
