Rotating the camera or the object takes the same time, virtualy no extra 
time. In your case, you could rotate the object to get the different 
wiews. In my view, it's not more complicated. I routinely have my 
objects deffined in a #define block. I then place it with:
object{MyObject rotate <x,y,z> translate<x,y,z>}
