Abstract

A building model having lit windows that looks more realistic and visually pleasing than known building models. The building model includes a central lighting source that provides light substantially evenly along the entire height of the building model. For example, an LED strip is wrapped around a support structure that extends centrally upward within the building. The building model can include a translucent diffuser placed up against or close to the window holes of the building model that diffuses the light, preventing the problems when one can see the inside the model though the window holes. The diffuser prevents shimmering and blinking effects, and keeps the light level substantially even over the entire outer surface of the building model, which is more pleasing to the eye, and more closely resembles buildings in the real world. The building and the diffuser can be printed sequentially, or can be printed simultaneously.
