The software is Mathematica, the language is Wolfram Language.

Nice 3D versions of WordCloud. Here is how @Jaebum Jung word clouds look like:

Examples using texture,

icloud = Graphics[WordCloud[data][[1]], Background -> Black];

ParametricPlot3D[{Sin[u] Cos[v], Sin[u] Sin[v], Cos[u]}, {u, 0, 
  Pi}, {v, -Pi, Pi}, 
 PlotStyle -> Directive[Opacity[.8], Texture[Image[ic]]], 
 TextureCoordinateFunction -> ({-#5, #4} &), Mesh -> None, 
 PlotRange -> All, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, 
 Lighting -> "Neutral", Background -> Black]

ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t] (3 + Cos[u]), Sin[t] (3 + Cos[u]), 
  Sin[u]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi}, {u, 0, 2 Pi}, 
 PlotStyle -> Directive[Opacity[.8], Texture[Image[ic]]], 
 TextureCoordinateFunction -> ({#4, #5} &), Mesh -> None, 
 PlotRange -> All, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, 
 Lighting -> "Neutral", Background -> Black]

p.s. image upload doesn't work so I just put codes.

There isn't exactly a simple way to do this. In Mathematica, you make 3D graphics with Graphics3D.

Graphics3D doesn't have any support for Text directly, but you could make a Texture out of a text and apply it to a polygon.

I would begin by understanding Graphics3D and Texture.
