The pressure of the blood forces water and other small molecules through a capillary wall into the start of a kidney tubule, forming filtrate.

the pressure in glomerulus creates higher net filtration pressure resulting large amount of filtration formed.

filtration of blood
The renal corpuscle filtration barrier is composed of: the fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes.
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
