Yes it is. It is not a one-click thing and is certainly beyond what's worth writing in a form post. Help is asked after you checked all the available information and resources and still can't find your answer. That's what the examples scnes are for. It's a free download. Make an effort.

A lot of info on this page and links can be hard to find. The example scenes will help you for sure. Here is a link to those scenes

I recommend spending some time checking out the releases subforum above for lots of resources.

Here's one of my godsray test. Also with dust particles.
I used the fogbox with the camera-bubble technique.

Depending on the scene and on what kind of volumetric lights you need, you can also create a copy of your scene and use the good old AR3
to render stunning fast volumetrics passes.
Then in post, using after effects i.e. you also have great control over the volumetric light renderpass.
