    I have made a decent looking glass window material in blender and would like to know if I can somehow get that material to import into Unity. (It's currently not making it over). Or, if that's not possible, how can I make a glass material in Unity?

    Materials don't transfer between 3D apps. Use a transparency shader, or do a search on "glass" if you want something more complex.

    I used an fx/glass shader and I couldn't see the glass at all. I've taken the glass meshes out for now and I can't tell a difference. I guess I can try a transparency shader next.

    fx/glas if I remember right has refraction.
    Refraction, as all effects basing on Render Textures, are Unity Pro only

    Another Pro only feature. That makes sense. Thanks.
