"It's raining Tiny Men, Hallelujah! It's raining Tiny Men!" Uhmm, wait.. that ain't the exact lyrics of that song...
The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5aZJBLAu1E
Very nice render 3dcheapskate! I think it swings like the song from The Weather Girls and it is also funny and original!
I think you are right Jacky "It is raining tiny men"!!

April Showers (bring her a towel when she's done)
A second entry from me for the month, I think this stays on the right side of the TOS...
Also available in my gallery
List of products used:
All elements in this picture are free. Non-postworked images attached.
The shower jet is a simple cone shape with water drops drawn on it. I did two renders, one with and one without the shower cone, so I could paint out the parts where water would be jetting out from her chin and body.
I couldn't find a freebie shower rack anywhere, so I made one from primitives. It's probably not good enough for really close-up work, but in case it's useful to anyone I've attached an OBJ version in the zip file. Just import it (using DAZ settings) and apply the chrome shader of your choice.
WIP (WorkIn Progress), so currently NAE (Not An Entry).
Working title: (AprilShowers Brings)...Howls Of Derisive Laughter From The Other Weathergirls
I'm having fun trying to come up with month and weather-related superheroines (supervillainesses?) - still on the drawing board (and likely to stay there) are Jan Blizzard and July (pronounced Julie) Categoryelevenhypertornado...
Costumes are mainly a mixup of TerryMcG's superhero(ine)stuff at ShareCG - https://www.sharecg.com/pf/full_uploads.php?pf_user_name=terrymcg&division_id=0&s=dd&pn=2
P.S. I like all three proper entries so far - keep 'em coming !
Regarding Chris' entry "Singing In The Rain", being of a certain age group and from the UK this immediately brought to mind the classic Morecombe And Wise version. For the benighted amongst you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3GqaQkhuYw
How about "Flaming June"?
Wonderful, and certainly better than my "June Megaheatwave" !
Nah, June needs to stay the annual Summer Fun and Pinups month.

Keep them "April Showers Bring..." renders pouring in.
Just letting you all know Daz has some amazing new freebies HERE
@Saphirewild - I apologize beforehand if this is a dumb question, but I have water drops I modeled in Anim8or (free program). Can I use those, or do I need to figure out how to re-make them in Hexagon, or is that against the spirit of the contest? Also, if I use a script, like Ultrascatter, does that count toward the use of a purchased item?
That's...not funny. Not funny at all.
Here's my first entry for this month's contest.

@Saphirewild - Thank you. Do multiple items from same product count separately or together as one purchased item? Like shaders from one set? Or accessories and clothing from one product package? How are they counted? Also, I see things like hair and environments being listed under no count - why? I looked at the rules, but I still don't understand.
Multiple items should be counted together.
Some hairs and enviroments used to be free and now have lost their links to where they were found or no longer avilible so you would put it under NO COUNT listing.
I hope this helps you to understand better
Wait a minute...so let me get this straight. Say that, for example, I were to use Stonemason's original Urban Sprawl, which has been retired and is thus no longer available. Would that also count as a No Count listing?
