Soft surface transition

Hi everyone! 
I'm trying to create a soft transition between two surfaces but i cannot really find a solution. 
Here are 2 images that shows what i want. What I want is a smooth transition as you can see on the section of the second picture. 

Is there a way to achieve this with rhino, grasshopper or even t-splines?

Here is an excerpt from a GH file I made some time ago that may help you. It includes a VB fillet routine I found once upon a time that is a bit quirky, but usually works OK.You have to play with the 2 Boolean variables to get the fillet to work the right way.

Note that Rhino has problems with fillets; they get pieces whacked off, at least when the geometry is exported as an STL file. I found an obscure fix for this - just prior to exporting run the Rhino "_DivideAlongCreases _SplitAtTangents=_Yes" command. I'm not really sure what this does, but it seems to fix the problems with exporting fillets.
