Gigantic Fantasy Tree set?

I'm toying with making a new kind of product but want to make sure there's not something like it out there already...
Who here has played Quest For Glory 3? So you know the magical gigantic tree more massive than a real life skyscraper? What I'm looking for are basically gigantic fantasy themed trees, branches wide enough to stand on, that sort of thing. Anything like that out there already?

That's a great idea. Other inspirations would be Arboria in Flash Gordon, the Ewok village in Return of the Jedi, and the huge trees in Avatar.
Right?! It's very much a classic fantasy archetype, if there was something like it in the store, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I'm assuming there isn't judging by the lack of replies.
the old tree of life could possibly be adapted and iray uber applied

It has both 3DL and Iray versions.
Hmm, that's a good lead, thanks
It's a shame that the digital artist that created this tree isn't selling it, it would have been perfect.

that is cool.. but they have to be in an unroot version
so they can be pulled out of the ground by a strong girl
That is fascinating and I'm gonna keep it in mind if I decide to make a product along these lines.
You know, this kind of thing has been on my list to create, but I have not gotten around to it. I was taking the Norse Iggdrasil and the elvish trees from Lothlorien in Lord of the Rings as my inspiration. As you say, it's really a classic fantasy motif, so there are lots of conceptual references.

... and that bigarse tree in James Cameron's Avatar
You could try to scale up my trees from this set? https://www.daz3d.com/poseable-trees-with-ivy
Although I have to confess I've never tried how the textures look when used at skyscraper size. That's a general problem with huge items, which probably explains why certain things haven't been done yet.
But please note that there is very little to it that marks it as a tree specifically. It is a cave/wall mesh with sculpting/mapping/shading on it to evoke tree bark.
https://www.daz3d.com/mystical-cave could be made to seem the borehole of a giant woodworm.
https://www.daz3d.com/cave could be retextured into a stump.
https://www.daz3d.com/tropical-cave could be reworked into a hole between some roots.
https://www.daz3d.com/green-cave basically is another one already.
https://www.daz3d.com/modular-cliff-formations-volume-1 can be made into bark-like walls just by rotating the pieces.
It is similar with other rock props. Most of the magic in making them into closeups of parts of a tree lie in the textureing.
I might dabble with it, but I'm gonna buy it just cause it's one of those products which fall under the rule of "I didn't know I wanted it until I found out it existed"
