By default, asset nodes are translucent so you can partially see external nodes or connections underneath them. You can make asset nodes opaque by selecting Options > Opaque Assets from the Hypergraph or Hypershade options menu. See Opaque Assets.

You can also set the background for each asset in the Hypergraph to a custom image. This can help you quickly identify an asset by sight.

To customize the background of an asset in the Hypergraph

1. In the Hypergraph Connections editor, -click the border of your asset and select Set Background Image from the pop-up menu.
   Note

   You must -click any side of the border other than the right side.

   The Adjust Background Image window appears.

2. Enter the path of your image file in the Image Name field or click Load and navigate to select the file in the browser window.
3. Select Fit to Width or Fit to Height.
4. Use the value fields or sliders to adjust the size of the image.
