Task:-
to apply a translation array to an array
of 3D vertex coordinates to produce the
resulting location of each vertices.

Translation array and vertex coordinates taken from
a Truespace COB file.

The text in the COB file looks like this:-

Am I going in the right direction?

No. The reshape didn't do what you want it to. The elements will have the same
order; it won't transpose the array. To do that, use the transpose() function.

What do I do with the result?

When you have it correct, the last row will be all 1s. Ignore it.

transpose()

ahh yes I can see where that would work. Just tried it in the above
and I do get a last line of ones.

OK onward and upward

Many thanks Robert.
