Thanks for the suggestions. Using 12 transition tiles for every type of terrain tile, I was able to automatically fill in the transitions. I'm not sure if more transition tiles are needed, as I'm pretty happy with the results so far. Now I am onto part 2, which is ordering them to be drawn by precedence as explained in the article. Here is what I got so far: http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1535/screenshot20090629.png. I am still working on the water, and I have to re-order that rock from drawing behind the transitions. I might add some inverse transition tiles to make the terrain look less boxy, even if it means greatly increasing the number of required images. Or maybe someone has a better suggestion?
