There were two ingame lessons about detailing hosted by Immortal-D.
You can download the demo files and watch: Details 101, Details 201

Download them to your "Steam\SteamApps\[USER]\team fortress 2\tf" folder, open the game, and type "playdemo" and choose the demo's name.

Shift+F2 opens the demo's options, but keep in mind that, due to the way demos work, you can't move backwards in time. Only forward.

You go into tf2, open up console and type: "demoui" (without quotes) then browse for the demo you want and click play. - job done.

i think, apart from those demos by immortalD, is to open up the vmf's of valve maps (which are provided in ou mapsrc folder, and to look at what valve have done o get a general idea of things to do. Then add your own touchs and inspiration to detailing once you have got the hang of it =]

Remember, detailing should be one of teh last things you do, =]

I understand that, but I won't be able to get testing done (get it hosted) without some degree of prettiness

Ah i think we've misunderstood each other (doh lol)

I meant "the last thing you do" in general for each release ect, not overal as in a "_final" release If you need any help, id be more than glad to help you =]

these posts are a great source of insiration for adding more detail to your map.
remember that the post continues on later pages (with different maps), so you would have to search a bit.
