Roly poly toy physics

Hello everyone,

I search on the net and i don't find what i want...
I want to do the same physics like a roly poly toy for a tree in my game. Like if you collide your player with a tree, the tree is puched and return to initial position if the player don't block him.

Someone have a solution? (maybe lerp, pingpong or something)

Thanks

 

The Physics term is Softbody. Most games don't use physics for that effect, it's a shader or something.

 

You might be able to get close to the behavior you're describing using joints. It's probably a lot easier if the tree doesn't need to move around other than the rolling back and forth. A spring joint, anchored to a kinematic rigidbody, might give you the sense of something moving out of the way on collision, but trying to correct itself back to upright.
