Regression: Import of Blender exported binary FBX 7.4 file with at least one animation crashes editor

Description:
Importing a binary FBX 7.4 file that was exported in Blender, which contains at least one animation makes the editor hang at 75% of the progress bar for about 1 to 2 seconds before it crashes. That didn’t happen with Unreal Engine 4.12.5.

Exporting from Blender as FBX ASCII 6.1 doesn’t cause a crash upon importing into the unreal editor, but doesn’t import the animation.

Caveat: At a first glance, the console output suggests the issue might be happening during mesh triangulation. However, pre-triangulated meshes crash as well, with the last operation instead being related to material processing in that case. It’s possible the console output might be a bit misleading in that regard.

Hey Aziroshin-

I opened the project you provided and imported the fbxanimations_7.4.fbx file into the project. There was no crash for me when “Import Animations” was selected and I clicked the Import All button. Can you provide the reproduction steps that cause the crash for you as well as the callstack and log files from the crash?

Hey Aziroshin-
