Unity Physics - Throwing a curve ball

Physics
1

Any suggestions on how to approach this? I know I could manually interpolate the balls transform along a curve but I would like the ball to interact with the physics system. How would I approach this using rigidbody scripting? I don’t care if its faked or uses tricks as long as its predictable.

You could just add a script to the ball that applies sideways/downward forces on each frame. In the FixedUpdate method, you would use something like

curveDirection = Vector3.down;  // ...or whatever
rigidbody.AddForce(curveDirection);
3

Use AddForceAtPosition() if you also want have effects like spin.
