The honourable lady Houlden posed this on Twitter. Being as moderately clueless as I am, I figured I'd have a good shot at finding some info here, since so many of us fans here are minor geniuses themselves. I'm not sure what it is about David's geniusosity, but it seems to be the teensiest bit infectious.
Anyways, ideas anyone? Ever heard of anything that might sound like it might aid her?

So basically, unwrap stuff that doesn't fit inside texture borders, then add edges ( = extra geometry) and move UV islands so that the unwrap fits inside the texture borders.

Why would you want to add the extra geometry, instead of packing the original ilsands/geometry in better? The only kinda-useful feature I see from this would be ability to add geometry through the UV editor, and that could result into some pretty weird stuff on the 3D side... especially across the UV seams.

I dunno what she wants with this. I just saw stuff I didn't know a solution for and thought that some of the more experienced users here might know something.

I KNOW SOME OF THESE WORDS!

lol

I used to model quite a bit but I have no idea what she is asking about.

I too, don't understand what she means

She posted a few more tweets on it. You can check her twitter, there are some images. I'm not exactly solid on what she wants either. But maybe someone will see through the dust and confusion.
