What Is Recasting?
I've heard it many times, and I think I know what it means, but in case I'm wrong, can someone explain it? I'm going to take a stab at it: When someone copies the work of someone else when it comes to molding?
And if for some reason discussions like this are frowned upon, forgive me, it was just on my mind. :ohoh

Re: What is recasting?
Put simply it's taking something that someone else made, making a mold off of it and making copies of the original.

Re: What is recasting?
Don't sweat it. It's good to know what things mean when you hear people talk about them.
Ed told you straight bro. When you mold something that is already created (although it doesn't necessarily have to be something someone else created, it could also be something you made), and make a copy of that thing out of the mold, the object that comes out of the mold is a recast.

just to clarify,
if you make something out of clay, pour a mold-making substance over it, and then fill that mold with something resulting in a cast, that's just straight up casting.
when you pour a mold-making substance on something already made, (say... a paperweight), and then cast the mold with something, that is a recast...

Good call pollyestergrimm, both Ed and I did leave that open from the casting as opposed to recasting.

Re: What is recasting?
RECAST
The verb has 4 meanings:
#1: To change the cast of (a theatrical production).
#2: cast again, to mold again
Synonyms: remold, remould
#3: cast or model anew
Synonyms: reforge, remodel
#4: To set down or present (ideas, for example) in a new or different arrangement: recast a sentence.
Synonyms: reforge, remodel, redo, refashion, remake, make over - make new
The negative meaning of the word: To take someone elses work
(without permission of the original artist) and cast it,
and then sell the items made from that mold.

I can see why it's so frowned upon...

Re: What is recasting?
Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.
Remember that too. :wink
