Has anyone seen this being achieved as well as sketchfab:?

I would love to see an example for this I love so I did try their SSAO and their implementation seems much worse and not that configurable.

you should be able to use `N8AO` as part of `@react-three/postprocessing` @drcmda recently posted [this example of it in action](https://codesandbox.io/embed/6kxmtp?codemirror=1)…

n8ao is also available vanilla, for both three/jsm/effectcomposer and pmndrs/postprocessing, but definitively prefer the latter because it’s a night and day performance difference in favour of pp. the ao looks beautiful and is comparable to sketchfabs. it’s also fast and looks clean with as few as 6 samples, the old three/jsm/ssao needs \> 20 to look acceptable.
