Ideas to create this kind of mozaic material

[tricky]

Could anyone suggest a simple(ish) way of creating this kind of mozaic tile effect? I have BerconTile 3 and obviously the standard max tile materials.

A quick attempt using a Mix map, Tile maps and a Mapped Gradient. Max2009.

Even mapping seems to be the most efficient method, you could also try PIXELED (1 pixel = 1 box)

I've been looking at BerconTile (versin 3.0), but it seems the variation tools are no longer there in the latest versions.
