Motion around a shape

[franciscab12957096]

Hi everyone,

I need some help with this.

Somehow I need to create the same kind of movement as the example below, but instead of being around a spherical shape, i need to customize this and use my own shape where the dots move around. Is there anyway of using a mask around some effect?

Thanks.

Maybe have a look into FreeForm Pro | Mettle  ?

A displacement map may also be helpful to you.
