Fade a complete model to transparent

Hey there!

I have a complete model with a lot of diffentparts with different shaders on. Now I would like to fade the hole thing transparent to 0 %. How can I do that? I would love to do it without keying the transparent setting on every shader used.

Thanks in advance.

i'm afraid that's exactly what you will have to do, unless you do it in post and just fade it out in aftereffects or shake etc. The other option i guess is to do a set driven key or connect them all to one attribute (so they all share the same value) and just key one of them.
