摘要

In virtual environments, choosing appropriate outfits requires contextual harmony with surrounding scenes, yet bridging the visual gap between 3D ambient views and catalog garment assets remains challenging. This paper investigates scene-conditioned outfit retrieval for interactive 3D environments, where a user's egocentric view serves as the retrieval signal. We present GEAR (Generative Editing for Asset Retrieval), a framework that bridges the cross-domain gap by synthesizing intermediate visual queries rather than predicting direct compatibility. GEAR uses a vision-language model to describe suitable clothing from a captured scene, employs an instruction-guided diffusion model to render the concept onto a standardized reference character, and utilizes the cropped clothing region to retrieve existing 2D outfit assets via embedding similarity. An interactive Unity prototype demonstrates real-time scene capture, asset retrieval, and in-engine 3D avatar fitting. We benchmark GEAR against direct visual similarity, aesthetic scoring, and VLM-based reranking on a controlled dataset using automated Swiss-system pairwise judgments, where GEAR achieves competitive top-ranked performance (mean Elo@5 of 1012.75 and top-10 overlap of 0.180) alongside 0.539 pairwise agreement. Furthermore, a user study across 20 virtual travel scenes demonstrates that GEAR achieves the highest overall participant preference in both visual appeal (34.5%) and contextual suitability (34.5%).
