Sort of.  The main rendering pipeline (on next at least) is now the
Compositor using ALS.  the "classical renderer" and "Project Rembrandt"
have been superseded.  From the perspective of creating regional
material definitions, you can just develop against ALS and you will be fine.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "Additional Materials" section.

My suggestion if you are interested in Regional Texturing would be to "get
your hands dirty" - look at the area where you live in-sim and what doesn't
look quite right, then create a regional definition and make changes.
