Yeah... usually. =)

But It looks to me like the light is from above.

He's using media sampling method 3, with a container that's probably just
the intersection of two planes. Since method 3 samples at regular intervals,
this makes the media look like it was made with the "stacked planes" method.

I suggest cutting the media containter into two or three separate
containers, giving the farther ones better sampling parameters than the
closer ones.
