April Showers bring Singin' in the Rain

A second entry from me for the month, I think this stays on the right side of the TOS...

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 a zipped OBJ version in the main thread. Just import it (using DAZ settings) and apply the chrome shader of your choice.

DAZ 3D Art Freebie Challenge April 2018
"April Showers Bring..."
"As Green As..." O no, that was last month! ;)
"April Showers Bring... Spring Energy! (And Summer Power eventually)"
As I write this rain is pouring down but this April we've had the sunniest and warmest spring day ever recorded, it felt like summer. Rain followed by a sunny day or two is perfect for the flowers and the plants to grow, birds and butterflies start looking for a partner... Well, anyway, here's a 'picture' of that day to make you forget about the rain, m'kay?
The story:
"Sun is shinin' in the sky, There ain't a cloud in sight, It's stopped rainin', Everybody's in a play, And don't you know, It's a beautiful new day hey hey hey..." Eddie (an excellent pitcher) was listening to the song in his head while waiting for his mate for some practice when all of a sudden this beautiful girl passes by. Eddie just had to check her, she's stunning pretty! Unfortunately he could not see that she was feeling a little uncomfortable by that, yet still she was flattered by the attention. It's that time of year...
The soundtrack:
Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky (1977)
