Objective: Create a window pane that is transparent to replicate a real window

Window Before

This article will go over the steps to creating a window as shown above on the right.

The first step is to create a material to represent the window pane.

Creating the window pane material

The next thing to do is set the material to transparent.

Set material to Transparent mode

Now that the material is set, we can assign it to the element on the window object in the inspector.

assigning the material

Next, we can adjust the transparency of the window pane in real-time. I will adjust the color and transparency in the Albedo channel.

Adjusting the color and transparency

Ok now let's see the final product.

Happy Coding!!!!
