  1. Hey, i'm looking for smoother autotiles. Grass, dirt, blossoms etc..the rtp stuff and most of edits i found, look so ''blocky''.
    Are there some smoother, finer versions? Or Tutorials how i can get that look?
  2. do you have a picture of what you mean?

    EDIT: also check out the refmap free research-blog tileset. It's amazing, and very detailed, with a more modern feel. linky: http://refmap-l.blog.jp/ (site is in Japanese, but I can make it work with google translate).
  3. yes and no.
    There are some modified tilesheets with improved autotiles here on the forum, just search in the resource sections.
    However, there are limits on how much the autotiles can be improved due to the way they work - don't expect perfect results even from the improved versions.

    Short explanation: An autotile is automatically constructed from quarter tile sections, and for each quarter line divider every possible part needs to fit there. That limits how much smoother a tile can become even on best try, and an artist has to put in multiple times the work to get that right compared to the more easier "blocky" approach.
