Why Blender Stack Exchange recommends it

Blender Stack Exchange users cite it as the tutorial they were following when their inflating soft body would not collide with a cage object, or when they wanted to reproduce its balloon-inflation effect.

What it is

A roughly 22-minute Blender 2.8 tutorial from the 3Dschool channel showing how to set up a soft body simulation, with a balloon inflating inside a frame or cage as the worked example. It walks through soft body physics, a force field and collision objects.

I was following this tutorial [this video] to create an expanding balloon in a 3D frame. However, with all the correct steps, the collision won't happen, even with the softbody solver step size set as 300. Can anyone help out?

i got a lil problem i wanted to do this tutorial.. [this video] when i created the cage i must have made a mistake... maybe i forgott to merge on center on a few points? i cant find the error no matter what i do when blowing up the inside, there is one spot in the cage where it goes through? can anybody tell me what i did wrong? the cage is made out of mirror modifier... i also tried with applie dmodifier.. thx [LINK]

I am doing this tutorial [this video] And I have added a collision to the outer object but the inflating ball inside still wont collide with the grid on the outside? Any ideas? [LINK] [LINK]

I am trying to wrap a net (made out of torus shapes) around a balloon. As the balloon deflate, I hope to make the net get flat and flat (on the ground. I was exploring the inflate and deflate on Blender, but I have trouble figuring out how to add motions/other physics to the net. Which feature can I use to make the net to collapse and get flat along with the deflated balloon? Would I have to parent it and make it collide to a flat plane surface? [LINK] Describing my plan: inflated (nice inflated circular shape with a net wrapped around) at frame 1 and deflated (winkly and flat rubber balloon) at frame 100. Here are some of the tutorials I watched related to my interests, inflate and deflate,

I am trying to create a soft body/ cloth simulation where the eyeballs inflate and pop out of the eye socket and form into a heart shape. I tried quite some different approaches now but none worked out so far. At first I shaped a heart from a cube and subdivided the faces so it would create a smooth mesh which I added soft body physics to. Then I applied a force field but the effect would not create a realistic round eyeball in the first frames like in this tutorial: How to create a soft body in blender 2.8 [this video] Next I tried to use cloth physics to let the heart shaped cube inflate itself but the shape got lost in the process. Then I tried this tutorial: Make ANYTHING Inflated | Blender3D
