Transforming coordinates

Multiply the transformation matrix with the coordinates.

[d e f][y]
[g h i][1]

Do you have the transformation matrix from the mesh to the world? That would be a 4x4 transformation matrix. The upper 3x3 block is rotation (and possibly scale), and the last row/column is translation. Just multiply the transformation matrix times the vertex to get the world space vertex, e.g.:

V_world_space = T * V_mesh_space

where T is the 4 x 4 mesh-to-world transformation matrix.

Yes, I have the world transformation matrix.
I need both scaling and rotation etc. But which matrix components should I multipy with the x, y and z coordinates of the vertex? And what are those components for?

Sorry for this answer, but I really think you were asking for it: matrix multiplication

Nope, I was just looking for a way to transform the coordinates. The D3DXVec3TransformCoord function was what I was after, but thanks anyway
