The study of dusty discs is an important topic in astrophysics, as they seem to be abundant around different objects and are related to different phenomena. In this poster we present 3D radiative transfer simulations of T Tauri type discs with an inhomogeneous dust distribution to investigate the effect of a clumpy medium on the dust temperature distribution. Our initial results indicate that the structure of the dust temperature distribution is rather insensitive to the structure of the ISM, but nevertheless we find a clear and systematic dependence on the parameters describing the structure of the clumpiness of the dust medium.
