How To Create A Transparent Window Effect in Unity

Objective: Create A Window with Transparency

Transparent Window Effect

You might be thinking…..we can just add a new material and add some transparency?

Well let's try that out. First let create a new material and add it to our Window object. Then we will add some transparency to the material. Lets see what happens below:

As you can see above if you add some transparency. It doesn’t make a window like affect. Therefore we need to take it a step further to allow us to see through it.

If we alter the Rendering Mode and Change it from Opaque to Transparent we will then have the effect we desire. Then we can go back to the Albedo color option and change the transparency to our liking.

There you have it! That is one quick way to create a transparent window in Unity.
