Copying rotation from VGs is a bad idea, as confirmed by batFINGER below. If you want to get some rotation of a soft body, copy position, damped track Y, then locked track Z three different vertex groups-- preferably, single vertices. | |

| Apr 7, 2021 at 10:10 | comment | added | Amir | @batFINGER The Empty's rotation is not as random as I thought as the Z rotation is mostly around 0 but the X and Y rotation values seem pretty random (-180, 180) | |
| Apr 7, 2021 at 5:22 | comment | added | batFINGER | Can you clarify (maybe visualize on another object) why the rotation values appear random. Could it be that the copy rotation constraint clamps its values to range (in degrees) of (-180, 180) ? | |
