When exploring this planet I came across this blob critter. 
This critter looked a little mean look at the teeth. 
I can’t wait to play some more, only had an hour or so playtime since Origins hit 
Hopefully some today!
Some Vids of Furious Fauna on a Psychedelic planet - night and day.
And some stills of a burrowing/leaping non sand worm spiral type Fauna
I do like the translucent wings on some avian creatures.
This smoothing of appearance happens to me after a while in NMS. I’m assuming it’s related to my “weaker” card (GTX960 with 4GB). It’s kind of annoying, but I can’t justify the cost of an upgrade.
And … I found the inconsistent description of the flying “whatever” funny:
It’s textures not loading in higher LODs as they are supposed to. Not sure what couldbe he issue. If they never load it’s certainly not a performance issue.
Does the smoothing also apply to the Discovery view of the fauna?
If the higher LODs of that creature aren’t generated for whatever reason, that would also affect the discovery view, yes.
So I flew down to a cold planet and had 2 borrow critters. The 2nd one never came out of the ground it just had the smoke as you can see from the pic below. 
I have been having this issue as well for at least the last few months…did not start with Origins. Sometimes they never load. Other times they load after a few seconds. Same happens with the ground though not as much with Origins. Was bad bad before.
and these are the only photos I have to show for it
