The scene is too large, it needs 64662 GLTFAccessors. Each GLTFAccessor has two PoolVector, but the actual alloc count does not reach the limit thanks to COW. Later in the export process, each accessor needs to write to an empty PoolVector, so it triggers COW and reaches the 65535 limit.

All memory pool allocations are in use.

And crashes on further null pointer access.

[stryker313]

So is that something that needs to be worked around or can it be fixed?

I changed the COW number to be something above 65535, but need to find the exact place again and check on your input.

I don't understand the semantics of this line.

Note:

I think last time the number I used experimentally was 1 << 20 instead of UINT_MAX. UINT_MAX crashes.

For your character model and using the constant 1 << 20 I was able to export.

There are some other bugs in the gltf2 according to https://github.khronos.org/glTF-Validator/, but here's the output from godot engine.

We can document this as a existing limitation of godot engine.

Numbers mentioned above: Exceeding 65535 GLTFAccessors
