I've not tried it, but if it uses geometry then it should work ... how well is another question! :)

You will need to try it out but don't count on any support from the developer who has not been available on the forum for awhile. There is a 30 day refund for DAZ products in case it doesn't work.

It seems to work, but as ever, especially with specular materials, you'll need to tweak settings to have the drops actually visible (they come into OcDS as Opacity 0 for example). Not sure, also, from the quick check I did if you will be able to generate any of the expected effects of light passing through water drops.
With this very quick test (using PMC kernel) I set the material (which is used on all the zones of the rain) to pale blue transmission (226,242,240), and Opacity 0.4. All other settings left as-is.

Quick test, and it works just fine. notice even the petals reflection in mirror is a bit transparent.
