In the Late, Great Renderosity Wiki there was an extensive page of links relating to the Material Room compiled by Acadia and Bagginsbill.  I've dredged the page up from the Internet Archive, and converted the links as I was able to the live Web, although some point to the Archive.

Some of this information is only of historical value, as the page was last updated nearly four years ago in May, 2011, but there is still a lot of valuable information here.

Notes:

Pages that are gone from the Web or the Archive I've noted as dead.

The Renderosity Forum was updated since this was originally compiled.  Direct links to Renderosity forum posts don't translate to the new Forum, so I have designated them with an asterisk *.  If anyone is inclined to search the the Forum to locate these thread, please do, and post the links here.

There are some that were posted in the News section at RDNA, and I have no idea how to look them up; these are denoted with a double asterisk **.

Enjoy... :)

Great work, WandW.  And, I agree.........STOOOOOOPID FORUM!!!

Might I suggest  someone back this stuff up before one of Rendo's alleged "programmers" fixes it?

And thanks WandW!

backed up. Will post a copy on my site - soon

Thanks for all the hard work and great information.  

I agree the massive space underneath is a shame but I guess that is one of the prices we pay at the moment for using this forum. 

What an undertaking!  Thanks for putting an effort into resurrecting this very valuable list.  Hopefully those links won't get broken when they finally get around to fixing everything all the problems.

Thanks WandW!  Great work! :)

Thank you.

Thank you very much and thank you aRtBee for backing it up already :)  I'll be going through all the live links this weekend and saving everything this time.  Lesson learned.

thx fr lnx, W.  is easier to search them than to search forum.

maybe you can get boni to add lnx as they arise, to fill up empty space, or else ask mods to delete empty space.

I fixed the empty space. 

Good man, Rod :-)

I fixed the empty space. 

Thanx, Shane!  :)

WandW: Bless you! Thanks for this it is wonderful!!!!  And I will suggest it be added to the new FAQ!

Animating a displacement map (water)

.

Sweet!

What a shame. They even don't make it sticky.

It was never stickied, even in the olden days.  Hopefully they will put a link in the FAQ... :)

I think this is disrespectfull. You make here such a awesome job.

BTW , Thank you :)

Here is a collection of threads on Node Masks  that BB put together:

Let me bump this up and see if I can get a pin for it, guys.  This is the kind of stuff we need.

Responding for bot.

 Let's get this stickied. I cut my teeth on a lot of this information. And there are still a lot of things I need to learn.

Nice work. 

rokket, done.  This is the kind of thread we need to have available to all. Thank you WandW.

Years ago we had a sweet girl here on the forum (I can't remember here name, Ariane or similar). She made a list like this, and kept that running for years. One day she suddenly left and the list was erased with a forum overhaul. We really missed something like this. 

Very well done, Wandw and thank you for you efforts.

Bopper.

bopper, it was acadia.

That was it, she could find anything.

Thank you for reminding me.

 Thanks, Boni!

What an incredible list!  Thank you so much for your hard work in gathering these essentials together.

bump

I'd give you an upvote or karma points if anything like that was possible on this forum.

Thanks for the great resource

Thanks for this :)

To bad most of this was lost when DAZ3D liquidated RuntimeDNA.

Ow my heart - miss you so much, RDNA.

What a shame so many broken links in this list.
