Assets appear slightly different in the Hypershade than they do in the Hypergraph. Like all render nodes, asset nodes in the Hypershade have a small icon bar underneath allowing you quick access to create connections between input and output values.

To view a asset in the Work Area

1. Select a render node that is encapsulated by the asset.
2. Click one of the graphing icons in the toolbar, such as Input Connections .

   The asset encapsulating the node appears in the Work Area.
