How to Create a Transparent Window Effect in Unity

In this article we cover how to create a material that is transparent to use for window glass.

Our window wall object has 4 places for materials. As seen below element 3 is the window glass.

Changing the materials alpha channel under the Albedo has no effect.

Let’s create a new material in our project panel: WindowGlass. Next we applied it to our Mesh Renderer > Element 3. See the result below.

Set Rendering Mode to Transparent for our WindowGlass material.
Now if we change the alpha under Albedo we get a transparent window.
