P.S.: Here is a little bit more, as perhaps the next question is about different materials, if not, I had fun rendering it.

Hi mine-basis,

Please have a look here
CV4_2024_drs_24_SIsm_01.c4d

The idea is art direction, which means having control over the setup.

I used the Camera Deformer here, which works directly towards the desired shapes.

To avoid starting over when a change is needed, I used the PoseMoprh (points) on the Camera Deformer to store the work done and adjust as needed.

This means that even if a Pose is set, it can be mixed with others, or the poses can be used with negative values.
Even blending the shapes over time is just done with a few clicks, and if needed, to have a loopable, just use the same Pose Morph setting from the start and at the end.

Example with some wood a single light

Will that work for you?

As a side note
Normally, the first idea is perhaps to use the Force Field and, based on some random field noise, hope to get something out of it.
