Well I'm in.
First I wanted to go with a sports drink, but I just this instance got a better idea.
A perfume called "A Night in the Stables"
I will start by modeling the flies, then the bottle (still need to figure out the shape)
Good luck to all.

Ok this is the start afew test in this render, tested my MTD for the labeling, got the perfect color for such a perfume

, and the basic shape of the bottle reacts pretty well with my glass texture.

Update, I rework the bottle shape especially the inside.
The black refraction on the bottom will disapear when I reshape my liquid.
I explored lighting a bit, and started some mapping for my horse flies (you know the ones that bite)
The cap needs to be thicker and I need to block the reflection inside to get it darker.

Well this is the start of my Horse fly, the body.
I'm not going for super exact reproduction, cause I just want it to look like one, since it won't be big on the image.

Ok another update and I have an other one of the bottle coming since the render is almost finish.
This is the body with the wings. I'm on a roll!!!

Ok render done here it is well the bottle
I hit a wall here cause my caustic would crash with my MTD due to the amount of polys for the label, so I render to texture my background without the MTD and then use it as a map in my render with MTD and no caustic, not perfect but it does the trick (and I might make an animation later with this). The MTD height needs to be lowered a bit so the "cologne" is readable.
So I added stuff and modified my label and bottle, other wise my horse flies are advancing.

Ok I'm going to bed, but before I go a little update on my texturing
-

Wow this is looking really nice mate.
It might be an idea to add the text in later in photoshop, simulating it being carved in the glass instead of having max try and do it.
-

Yeah I might do that, I like at first to try to do everything in max then I see what needs to be done in compo.

Little update with some flies, I'm gonna have more and one flying about to land on the cap.
I'm gonna rerender my floor texture, with every elements minus MTD.
And like Cam said, I'll put the "the stallion of cologne" in photoshop plus a bit of glow.
I should be ok for the deadline.
Hmmmmmm.... animating this would be awesome.

This what it will look like when finish size and all but.....
Ok first I need to play with my AA, I'm not satisfied.
In A the cap needs more polys
In B a wing appears in my refraction, so I will move the back fly on the other side, and put one in front in its place.
In C my cologne is not reacting well, need to adjust on map
In D I need to turn this one around
and in E my caustic need more work but since I'm moving stuff around I'll need to rerender my huge texture for the floor
some little adjustements need to be done on the necklace.
if you guys have any comments feel free.
I'm gona corect these little things and look at my image some more to see what I can work on, thanx all for your comments.
PS:whats the max file size we can't post I hate compressing my work, I had to for this one.

Thanx mate
Yeah I'm gona need to crank it alote, especially that the inside of my bottle as a weird round shape and bubbles on each corner, that is wanted to give the effect of thick glass cause without them the glass look to transparent not enough stuff going on in the refraction.

Ok well this is my final, I spend enough time on it and I really wanna go back to my MP3 animation, especially with all the excellent tips I got.
I know I will rework this at some points cause I would really like to get this printed post card format, and I'll try a version with the necklace not refracting in the bottle.
So good luck to everyone, there's some nice work out there, and I hope to participate in the next mini-challenge
