URP – Physically Inspired Glass Pro

URP Physically Inspired Glass Pro is a premium, production-grade glass shader pack built exclusively for Unity 6 URP.

Designed to deliver high-end visual quality without unnecessary complexity, this shader provides advanced control over refraction, transmission, absorption, reflections, and shadow behavior, all within a clean and artist-friendly inspector.

From subtle architectural glass to stylized tinted or iridescent materials, this shader offers deep customization while remaining lightweight and optimized for real-time projects.

Carefully structured for modern URP workflows, it gives you precise artistic control while maintaining strong performance across PC and console platforms.

⚠️ This pack is designed exclusively for URP and is not compatible with Built-in or HDRP.

This shader strives to reproduce the appearance of physically accurate glass as closely as possible while offering extensive artistic control. Because it is designed for real-time applications, some optical behaviors are approximated rather than physically simulated. Every effect has been carefully balanced to achieve visually realistic results while remaining practical for real-time rendering.

Transparent objects using the glass shader do not refract one another.
Glass objects remain visible through each other (depending on the Fade Intensity setting), but only opaque objects are affected by refraction.
