Making rain

Hello!
How do I make it rain like in this pic? Is this rainfall made by a volymetric camera? And how are the splashes upon the roof created?

RDNA has two nice rain freebies. Check page 7 under 'Free 3D Models'!
I would suspect postwork using something like http://www.daz3d.com/rons-rain in Photoshop.
I guess rain and splashes are made in postwork.
I doubt, you can do such things directly in Daz Studio, yet.
Hi :) check out a vendor named Flink at renderosity, products called "Flinks Rain 2" and "Flinks Sky 2 - Rain" :) rains drops, rain splashes and everything :) Highly recommended, very easy to use as well :)
Just checked out that Flink guy i book marked his stuff he has a HUGE selection of awesome looking stuff.

used to be a rain tool in the store
is still in the doku http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/6931/start
Pretty sure that one was by Nerd3D. He's taken his shop over to Hivewire and is gradually re-releasing it there. I don't think the rain tool has come out again yet.
There's also Urban Future 4 Psy District, which comes with rain and fog (and in theory, should work with any outdoor settings). Kinda expensive at a non-sale price though.
Thanks all - a real good ideas here. The "Urban Future 4 Psy District" I've got and I imagine I can try that on other works as well. I also have a rain prop by Flink.
Using Iray, the fog effect (AtmoCamera or do it yourself) can help create a general sense of rain, but you won't get individual drops or a sense of movement/streaky drops
How do I get the fog effect in Iray? Is there an atmo camera as default or do I have to aquire one?
AtmoCam is a fairly new product in the store...

RawArt has very simple fog cam
