Description

Current CSS -> Shape in Origami.js is a very heavy process. Personally I don't like anything about this cast. Is a really lazy method and very heavy. Doesn't worth, I think.

Maybe think in another option more ellegant like html2canvas.

Research direction
Examine the current CSS to shape method implementation in origami.js (likely in the core source files). Understand the heavy process described. Investigate the linked html2canvas gist by Mr.doob to see how it converts CSS to canvas shapes. Propose a replacement that is more efficient and elegant. Consider any existing comments or related issues for further context.
