Oak of Souls
For this model, I gave the Tree of Life the animations embedded its portrait file, which are presumably the ones from its previous design in the year 2001 before Blizzard created the design that is included with the release version of the game. Then I added some flair and had fun with it.
Feel free to have fun and modify this. My records indicate that I spent about 20 minutes on this in one sitting, then another 5 minutes in another sitting. It's just a bit of fun.
Edit: I attached to the bundle a second version of the model called Dreaming Elder that was trying to use the actual geometry in the Tree of Life's portrait file as well as the animation to make something a little bit different.

This is a very cool model. Do you have any interest in creating soul-tree versions of the other ancient models?

It was made in 2018 and sat on my backup drive for a long time, but I mean, it's literally a recolor tree of life with an animation transfer from the unused second copy of the Tree of Life stored in its portrait. The hand glow is just mana flare.
So yea I can do recolors and copy particles between models. Being motivated to do it is a different beast, though.

Please swap the alternate animations with the normal ones, they appear uprooted when they shouldn't; Vice versa.
The particles on the hands are also still visible during decay.

Updated with the fix for the animations. Also added a corrupted version
Edit 2: updated bundle with the asset used for the Tree of Life in this video.
(Note that it is literally a separation iteration on restoring the same thing. I was on vacation or something and didnt have the "oak of souls" asset that i had previously worked on. Also i did some stuff to fix the animations and improve it over the version shown in that video)

Nice work, but there are still things that can be fixed:
- Please add an in-game screenshot.
- For the dreaming elder model, please remove the roots geoset during the end of "Death" animation and additionally during "Birth". The alternate animations also need to be swapped. It also needs a collision shape.
- Please optimize the models as HIVE's Sanity Checker has detected tons of small issues such as negative extents and overlapping tracks.
- Geosets needs to be invisible at the end of "Decay" animation.
