In an attempt to understand astrophysical sources, it is often necessary to construct models to interpert observational data. A key parameter in these studies is the temperature and temperature distribution, as it effects the level populations for the gas, and the underlying thermal radiation for dust. We present preliminary results from a new 3-d radiative transfer model for the continuum (dust) component. In particular, we explore the effects of different source geometries (e.g. spheres, disks, and cubes) on the temperature distribution. We also consider the effects of clumping within the source, by considering various filling factors, and present early results and interpretation of this work.
