>> I'm trying to figure out how to get an animated matte which I can give our editor which will show only the eye center (the white matte) being hidden and revealed by the animated "lids" while still blacking out all the other objects in the scene << Render again with the eye at 255,255,255 self-illuminated (white). Remove all non-essential objects – make background black – and make all other objects (including eyelids) MATTE OBJECTS (in the object attributes d-box) The scene should render black, with a white eye. Any matte-objects passing in front of the eye will reveal black background, thus appropriately masking the eye. – Dave
