Abstract
We propose a universal approach to the problem of computer modeling of shapes with continuously varying material properties satisfying prescribed material conditions on a finite collection of material features and global constraints. The central notion is a parameterization of space by distances from the material features -- either exactly or approximately. Functions of such distances provide a systematic and intuitive means for modeling of desired material distributions as they arise in design, manufacturing, analysis and optimization of components with varying material properties.
