Yes, because of focal blur and area lights and radiosity of course.

But the main problem for this type of scene is the memory. Here we have
30*21*30 simple pills (scaled sphere) but with more complex object
the same scene need lot of memory/swap.

Here is the camera/FB settings :


camera {
   location  <0.0, 0.0, -6.5>
   look_at   <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
#if (FOCAL_BLUR)
   aperture 0.12
   blur_samples 100
   focal_point <0.,0,0.4>
   variance 1/10000
#end
}
