I have a feeling I found a way through scripting to link between two
materials so they share parts of a tree.
Entirely unsupported and may not work anymore. It was a long time ago
so I'd check the archives. If memory
serves it was fairly predictable. Just taking the standard connect
command you see in the logger and using
a node in a different material as the source. Also remember it gives
no visual feedback in the rendertree. So
I'd suggest you make a colour share or something to use as a
passthrough and name it shared so you can
see what's in common.
Cheers,
Alan.
