THANK YOU ALL for the help!
It helped me a lot, I've found my mistake. Your advices helped me to create
such objects:
http://geom.com.ua/s1.png
http://geom.com.ua/s2.png

After that I'm getting "quaternion expert" :)

Actually I used another library
http://www.sacredsoftware.net/tutorials/Tutorials.xhtml for creating
quaternion. Also I would recommend this tutorials for understanding this
complicated topic. Maybe it is a good idea to add this link to wiki?

Thanks again


Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen /  С наилучшими пожеланиями
