The Illumination Series
Since many topics in 3D graphics rest on other ideas and methods, we’ve built our curriculum with a keen eye to sequencing the learning intelligently, building on each section and each tutorial. Our books are written by experienced instructors who are skilled at clearly communicating complex ideas, and know that the order in which topics are presented makes a huge difference in retention and understanding.
Courseware Supplements
Each title in the Illumination series is accompanied by a free courseware supplement for instructors who choose to incorporate Mesmer books into their classroom. Teacher Aides are printable, editable PDF documents that reference the corresponding book, and include useful tools and information such as a detailed sample course outline, instructor notes, tutorial overviews, quiz answers, and more.
You can download Teacher Aide PDFs by searching for Courseware in the File Bank on Mesmer's main page, or by clicking one of the links below to begin an FTP download.

Instructor Training
Another education solution we offer is through the week-long intensive training classes at Mesmer in Seattle. There is no better way to get up to speed quickly and fully than taking a class at Mesmer, and it feels great to be a student again, if only for a week.
