I started playing with Pov in ninth grade, before we had even done much 
geometry or I knew much about co-ordinate systems - the Pov-Ray docs were
suffiecient, and I managed to figure it out.

I think that any age above, say, 14 or 15 should do it - any teen of
reasonable intelligence should easily be able to figure it out, most
definitely those in the top 80%.
