Hi Axel,
Here's the script Guillaume wrote I mentioned on MSN. You'll be able
to avoid using overrides with this.
Cheers,
Alan.

I wrote this little script to quickly share a node/branch between two
materials :
/******************
SHARE TREE SECTION
*******************/
/*
-1 Select the node you want to use in a material from an explorer.
-2 Run the script and pick the parameter you want to connect in the
other
material.
(if it's a folder with alpha,blue,green,red you can also pick it).
Now the node is share between the two materials.
*/
var oSelNode = Selection(0);
var opickedNode = PickObject () ;
SIConnectShaderToCnxPoint(oSelNode, opickedNode.item(2), false);
//**************************************************
If the mail formatting is wrong, you can download the script here :
