Editor crashes when execute AssetDatabase.CreateAsset to save mesh that has about 150,000,000 vertices.
I made a mesh object with C# script, and trying to save it with AssetDatabse.CreateAsset();. Here's my code for save asset ↓
AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing();
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(tempMesh, $"Assets/Export/{fileName}.asset");
AssetDatabase.StopAssetEditing();
I can save a mesh when the vertices of the tempmesh is about 80,000 (I already added tempMesh.indexFormat = UnityEngine.Rendering.IndexFormat.UInt32;), but the editor crashes if that is about 150,000,000.
I'm thinking of separating mesh per 100,000 vertices (making 1,500 meshes), then generate object for each mesh. But I don't want to separate as much as possible.
What can I do to save mesh that has about 150,000,000 vertices?
Here's the log when the editor crashed.

I assume that it is due to a lack of RAM. Your device has a total of 8 GB of RAM, excluding space for system and different app operations. In this case, the total free memory may be 6 GB or even less. I suggest checking the activity monitor while generating the mesh with 150,000,000. vertices, this will let you see if you have exceeded the amount of available resources
