I can do it once.. thats not the problem I have to do this hundreds of times (for a dvd) doing this for each animation in the short will be rediculously time consuming when it should just be a matter of telling Carrara to: 1: apply an all white material to all objects and domains (for the mask render when I want it) or 2: Apply the same parent material to the domains by dropping it on the very top-most object.

for example in instance #2 I have 7 materials
shiny white metal
blue plastic
metal
gold
glowing blue
brown
gray

These colors will go on the same domains every time for the imported bvh animations from Poser.  I want to drop ONE material on the top-most import and have all 7 of those materials go to the same domains on all 50 models of the import every time instead of me having to open every model and apply them the same for each animation to each model to each domain.

I wonder if anyone has any add-ons that do this already?  Otherwise I have to write one it looks like.

attached is a picture of the model to maybe help illustrate what I need to texture.
