maybe you could use the "Card_Opacity" shader ? If you plug every
material into in the card_opacity node, you could fade the opacity of
each object with an override, without affecting the transparencies of
the materials.

Neh, unfortunately the Render Tree in Modo is not node based. I works
more like Photoshop layers, just like in Lightwave, but a bit more
