i can model them easy enough but the lighting and shading is pretty hard cos they have that thick specularity and full caustic kinda thing going on and i have no idea how to replicate that in maya
Beer glass scene creation
This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

I'd have to sit down and really take a llok at this (sadly no time for that) but you should be able to get away with using caustics and colour bleeding in mental ray to do it. Or you could fudge it in maya software render it's up to you

Good luck with that and post the pills when you get 'em right.

how do i make it look less bland? it doesnt seem to have much life to it cos it looks very pale? thats because i have a slight transparency on the pill for the caustics to work

I started with a Blinn and tweaked almost every setting on it, adding Caustics and Raytracing.
I found myself making almost a hundred variations of this little pill so I just stopped. You can get infinite results once you start messing with each parameter. If you need the settings I can post them for the last render I did.
