   in the shader use something like (simplified example) texCUBElod( cubeMap, powermap) to sample from different LODS of a reflection map

   Not many game-engines support that. Unreal can't do it for example. Your best shot in such a case is to have a low and a highres cubemap (two separate assets) and lerp between or just pick one.

   I`m pretty sure thats what the exact function of a gloss map *in thoery* should do. The blurred look comes from the surface having a roughness to it. the smoother the surface, the crisper the reflection. This level of surface detail, is usually so small however, that its hard to see in real life, let alone at game res. So…
