Hi, a) a quaternion is not a 3d shape and it is not complicated b) Mathematica can read and write DXF and STL files c) if you install MathGL3d from http://phong.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~kuska/mathgl3dv3/ you can export VRML, POVRay, QuickDraw3D and in the upcomming version Alias|Wavefront 3d files.
