Extremely too much human labour required, even with just 8 facings which isn't enough. Plus there is not much point in using SHP over VXL if you are not going to use super-sampling, but then that will create a nightmare with the team colouring, and I don't think there is an automated way to deal with that yet which is just going to add even more human labour requirement. Much more actually, according to my information.

I wish people would apply this much enthusiasm into writing a 3DS Max script that will just do this whole thing automatically.

so I understand why few shps have been made.
My way of infantry production is some 5 times faster.

But my max is chinese. I'm afraid no one will be able to understand, if I finish another faster tutorial.

rotating the view is a definitely no-go. Especially since in such a manual way you don't get exact 11.25° (for 32 facings) or 45° steps.

Use a camera, then animate the cam and let it rotate around the model.
The TI cannon cyborg has around 1000 frames, which take about 50 seconds to render. Then another 5 seconds to convert into SHP.
The most time consuming part is rigging and animating the model.

@Atomic_Noodles: it's actually Raminator who has made the script to render animated units. I've only made a template to render buildings (and units, you just have to rotate them manually :p ).

creating the 3d-model about a week (with about 1-2 hours work per day)
rigging about 1 hour
creating all animations about 30min-2 hours (was a bit trial and error)
then only copying the animations 8 times and rotating the camera 10min
rendering the 1166 frames about 50seconds
converting to SHP 5-10seconds

If you have a day free, a lot of enthusiasm and work non-stop, a clear plan what you want, such a unit can be done in one day.
Trial and error for finding the best shape and anims, bugfixing and finding the right textures is often the most time consuming part.

But generally speaking it requires human labors for making an infantry in 3DS max right?
