Starting from Blender's default cube, we will work with primitives to build the shapes of our chest. 

In this lesson, we will create the essential wooden structure of our chest or the "block out", giving us the basic shape to work with as we proceed with the next steps. 

Essential Techniques for all your Future Blender Projects

This simple, stylized treasure chest is a lot of fun to create! But understand that it's only a means to an end. The best part about this project is that it teaches you all the essential techniques and workflows for creating anything with Blender. After this course, you can apply what you learn here to endless Blender projects.

Tip: As you progress through the course. Think about how the methods can be applied to other projects. When you're done with your treasure chest, you will be equipped to tackle any object that's in your head.
