When you first open Hypershade, the Create Bar panel appears at the left. From this panel, you can choose among nodes that let you create different types of rendering effects.
Select one or more sections. Only the nodes in the selected sections are displayed in the right panel. To clear your selection, press in the search area.
Use the scroll bar to navigate through the Create bar and click to create the node that you want.
You can hide or resize the Create bar, or, you can customize the display of its icons.
Enter the keyword for the render node that you want to create. As you enter a keyword, the right panel of the Create bar updates in real time and only render nodes with names that match what you entered are displayed.
See Create a node for more information on how to create a render node.

When you map a 2D or 3D texture to an object, you connect it to an attribute of the object’s material. If you are selecting a 2D texture, you can right-click the texture to select the Mapping method you want to use. Normal mapping is the default, but you can also select Create as projection, or Create as stencil.
