cool idea.. the renders look great too

(and here, i'll plug indigo for you-> Indigo )

did you put a light inside or are the windows emitters? or something else?

If I haven't misunderstood, he's got the yellow component nested inside, and made the yellow material an emitter.

That's right! The yellow component is a little bit smaller than the blue part and acts as Indigo emitter

Same concept with Polyminos will be very fun!
the box 345 (12 pentominos) will be a cool boxlight + an headache puzzle!
(each pentomino can be made by the 12 pentominos!

Thank you all for your comments. I've added a download link to the first post if you like to play with those components...

I have seen game developers use a similar process for low poly buildings/office blocks. They add another layer between the light component and the building skin...like curtains/desk/chairs/people etc. The effect can be quite convincing and purely 2D.
