use actual material as override material

Ever want to override all of the materials in your scene, with a particular material in your material editor, rather than just some silly diffuse color? Well my friends, you’re in luck! As of 1.48.66, you should be able to achieve this effect by simply naming one of your materials “VRayOverrideMaterial”. That is the name of the material that we use to override all materials in your scene, when you enable “override materials” in the Global Switches section of your Options Editor.

This effect is actually the result of an unintentional bug, but I stumbled across it while trying to add this feature on purpose. Hooray for bugs that work in the user’s favor!
