Changing shadow mode from opaque to None will allow your light to pass through. And changing blend mode from alpha clip to alpha hashed will give you a more realistic looking glass. Enable screen space reflection too in render tab

Also, change your shader material to this: enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Tks, but if you look into your own image you'll see that the sphere is being rendered in a not smooth shading, you clearly can see the faces and edges... the sphere should be smooth... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @RogérioDec that's because I didn't give shade smooth $\endgroup$
