Finally. I'm pretty happy about the results:

cheburashka with matlab anti-aliasing

[V,F] = load_mesh('/usr/local/igl/libigl/examples/shared/cheburashka.off');
AO = ambient_occlusion(V,F,V,per_vertex_normals(V,F),1000);
t = tsurf(F,V,fphong,'EdgeColor','none');
C = squeeze(ind2rgb(floor(matrixnormalize(t.FaceVertexCData)*size(colormap,1))+1,colormap));
t.FaceVertexCData = bsxfun(@times,C,1-AO);
t.SpecularStrength = 0.1;
t.DiffuseStrength = 0.1;
t.AmbientStrength = 0.8;
l = light('Position',[1 1 100],'Style','infinite');
l2 = light('Position',[1 -100 1],'Style','infinite');
set(gca,'XTickLabel',[],'YTickLabel',[],'ZTickLabel',[],'Color',[0.94 0.94 0.94]);
set(gcf,'Color','w');

And to spin the camera around:

axis equal
axis vis3d;
camproj('persp');
for f = 1:numel(T)
  t = T(f);
  view(-cos(t*2*pi)*45,sin(t*2*pi)*45+45);
  drawnow;
  frame = getframe(gcf);
  [SIf,cm] = rgb2ind(frame.cdata,256);
  if f == 1
    imwrite(SIf,cm,filename,'Loop',Inf,'Delay',0);
  else
    imwrite(SIf,cm, filename,'WriteMode','append','Delay',0);
  end
end

With the awesome but now obsolete myaa.m hacked anti-aliasing, creating this gif would have taken many minutes. This runs in real time.
