actualy each bucket {} ends up as a 3x3 element sequence holding 9 floats
and is written to file useing edom2.e

Anyway I've decided to do multiple axis rotation like so...
My already produced Z rotation Y rotation and X rotation file is only 26kb
and takes less than a second to load. The file stores (361*9)*3 floats. I
figured out that if I invert the coefficients in the matrix rows I can do
a series of three calls: rotate_x() rotate_y() rotate_z() without any
deformaties.

Problem solved.... phew.
