He means you can do the interpolation style animation by manipulating
the vertex coords internal to the model (using gteMIMefunnc()), or you
can build a coordinate hierachy with a TMD for each bit of the overall
model and animate them externally using the GS_COORDINATE2 type
stuff. Or you can mix the two (internal for the character animation, external
for the world space positioning and orientation).
