Holy moly. As a kid, Deneba Canvas was something I'd play with all the time on my Macintosh. That Ferrari sample would take forever to load and render on screen, and child me would look at it in awe, thinking the amount of detail was insane (and still is!).
I remember trying to use the "blend" feature to see it morph into a simple geometric shape, but finding out it wouldn't work because the shapes were grouped. So I tried to ungroup them, and well, our poor 16MHz LCII with 4MB of RAM took a looong time to show all the objects and their respective bounding boxes, bézier node points and the like (just like he shows in the video! What an amazing mess).
I did not know there was a whole story behind it, I'm very glad someone took the time to do a writeup about a sample file of all things -- but a legendary one, for sure.

It absolutely did, it absolutely did. Thank you so much for this post!
