I'm not sure how you would do it without some sort of 3D rendering engine that would allow you to turn the thing.

Anyway, I did find a shortcut for creating the up/down animations, which comprises 15 of the images. They're simply shortened versions of the left/right animation images. So, if you first create A1-A5, B1-B5 and C1-C5 - the up/down sets (A01-A05, B01-B05, C01-C05) are just cropped versions of those. Here's the key:

Code:
A01 = C1 (cropped to 100 pixels in height)
A02 = C2 (cropped to 180 pixels in height)
A03 = C3 (cropped to 240 pixels in height)
A04 = C4 (cropped to 280 pixels in height)
A05 = C5 (cropped to 300 pixels in height)

B01 = A1 (cropped to 100 pixels in height)
B02 = A2 (cropped to 180 pixels in height)
B03 = A3 (cropped to 240 pixels in height)
B04 = A4 (cropped to 280 pixels in height)
B05 = A5 (cropped to 300 pixels in height)

C01 = B1 (cropped to 100 pixels in height)
C02 = B2 (cropped to 180 pixels in height)
C03 = B3 (cropped to 240 pixels in height)
C04 = B4 (cropped to 280 pixels in height)
C05 = B5 (cropped to 300 pixels in height)
