URP - Glass Shaders

Glass Shaders is a streamlined glass shader pack updated since 2015 and fully compatible with Unity 6.

Glass materials are essential in many environments, yet they can quickly become heavy or overly complex. This pack focuses on delivering reliable, easy-to-use glass shaders that cover the most common production needs without unnecessary overhead.

Instead of one complex shader, the pack provides three dedicated glass shaders, each designed for a specific use case:

• CS_SimpleGlass

Ideal for mobile, stylized projects, or when performance is the priority

A minimal and lightweight transparent glass shader.

• CS_Glass

A versatile glass shader offering more artistic control over appearance and lighting.

• CS_Glass (IOR)

A more physically inspired version supporting Index of Refraction-style distortion for more realistic results.

This separation allows you to choose the right level of realism and performance for your project.

The pack includes ready-to-use presets and a demo scene to help you quickly understand how each shader behaves and integrate them into your workflow.

Need support for HDRP:
