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... :)
