A revised and greatly improved version of the 3D continuum radiative transfer code. MC3D is presented. It is based on the Monte Carlo method and solves the radiative transfer problem self-consistently. It is designed for the simulation of dust temperatures in arbitrary geometric configurations and, the resulting observables: spectral energy distributions, wavelength-dependent images, and polarization maps. The main objective is the investigation of dust-dominated astrophysical systems such as young stellar objects surrounded by an optically thick circumstellar disk and an optically thin(ner) envelope, debris disks around more evolved stars, asymptotic giant branch stars, the dust component of the interstellar medium, and active galactic nuclei.
