Texture Blending

For texturing I am planning on using a method that will allow the terrain to be textured easily from the image. Using only a few textures I plan on blending textures to form transitions from one texture to another. From the same image used to generate the terrain I plan on using the RGB values as texture indices for the corners of each patch. By knowing the textures at the corners of each patch I can automatically create blended textures and then use them on the patch. This allows the terrain to have smooth transitions from one texture to another without using a lot of hard drive space to hold hundreds of textures.
