In Poser5 I noticed if you get a node the way you like it and you want to make settings the same for other materials in your scene, you can right click and 'copy', then paste when you go to your next material, then plug the node in wherever it goes. Like when I was making hair and needed the same setting for each hair group, it speeded up the process a lot. There's an 'apply to all' setting but I was scared to try it ;-) having spent a good decade getting everything all set up...
