I think this tutorial will help you achieve what you’re after.

Well, I am after the same effect for my project. The problem with the Form is that they use circles, stars etc but not squares. I think I would even prefer flat squares instead of 3d dots. Any suggestions on that?

Nope, that tutorial is not an answer. I found Voxel Effect for C4D, created a white ball of squares and projected an image in After Effects. It is kinda giving me what I was after. I will work on the projection and I hope this will be a satisfying result as we film a parody on BEP and other bands so I hope this will do. Will share it afterward
