is it possible to have a master node value that can be shared amongst multiple materials?

For example, I'd like to change a float value node, that changes the float value on multiple materials

Thanks

Safe way is to drive by a xpresso script if you need to use seperate materials. Don't connect any texture that's owned by a different material, it causes a lot problems.

hmm would I need to create an Xpresso tag for every material? I suppose this is more of a C4D question really

solved it by just having an external png and attaching that in a float node for multiple materials
