Here is a little something I cooked up as a reference. It is complete
3 dimentional rotation formulas. Hopefully they will help you get a good
start. They are a little different then some of the VLA's (or whoever)
formulas because I derived them myself for my own purposes :) They do work,
as I use them myself. Hopefully they will give you a little insight on
how to begin.

sx = Sin(XAngle)       cx = Cos(XAngle)
sy = Sin(YAngle)       cy = Cos(YAngle)
sz = Sin(ZAngle)       cz = Cos(ZAngle)
