<p>Maybe we could use the word 'educated' here? AFAIK (granted, am
not an native English speaker ;) ), it designates someone who has
already reached a minimal level of knowledge on the topic…</p>
<p>So something like that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Educated people, who already understand the basics of 3D
and/or know other 3D software.</li>
</ul>
<p>Or:</p>
<ul>
<li>People educated on CG, who already understand the basics of 3D
and/or know other 3D software.</li>
</ul>
This removes any age target, while still implying that you've done
your homework and are not a total beginner expecting for CG 101
content…<br>

<p>Rather than attempting to wrestle with an age range, why not
instead speak in experiential terms such as, 'anyone who plays
intelligent chess or can read and understand a road map can
probably learn to use Blender."? Do people build models
anymore...? if so, that would be an indicative skill. Can
anyone suggest others, or others which are better and/or more
suitable?<br>

Hi,

<div class="">Can a native english writer provide a better

Agreed. And parents, teachers, and librarians and
others are called upon to quickly categorize materials
and many want to avoid controversy. <br class="">
