Windows > Rendering Editors > Hypershade: Click on "Windows" in the menu bar. Navigate to "Rendering Editors." Choose "Hypershade." Hotkey: You can use a hotkey to quickly open the Hypershade. By default, the hotkey is H . Once you've done one of the above, the Hypershade window will appear, allowing you to create, edit, and manage materials, textures, and shaders in Maya.
