MATLAB: 3D Tilted projection

Is there any Matlab script to get 2D projections of a 3D matrix after rotating the 3D matrix X degrees over it self?
Actually I need to build a simulator for the Electron Tomography Image acquisition, In which a 2D images of an object are taken every time the object is rotated over it self for X degree from -A to +A Degree, as in the Image below. http://media.wiley.com/CurrentProtocols/PS/ps1702/ps1702-fig-0009-1-full.jpg

I would very grateful for your help.
wish you a nice weekend.

From the looks of your figures it seems as if you have parallel beam projection geometry. For the 2-D-to-1-D case your projections would be calculated with the Radon transform. Slightly depending on your exact geometry you might get away with a number of stacked radon transforms, all for various slices along your axis of rotation. Or you might have to make a 3-D version of radon.
HTH.
