As I understand it, you want *different* matrices applied to each vector?
Nope--I need the same matrix applied to each vector.
Because 3D translation matrices must, if I understand correctly be 4x4, the vectors must first be changed to length 4 (adding a 1 for the last term). Then, the matrices would be applied. Then, the resulting n*4 array would be converted back into a n*3 array (simply by dropping the last term).
Why not just add a vector to get translation? There is no need to go the homogeneous form. Or you can just leave the vectors at length 4 and use a slice to access the first three components. That way you can leave the ones in place.
