Mask within a mask???

Hello :)

I'm having some trouble creating a mask within a mask,I have a group layer which is masked for the whole body, but to get that to work my eye mask doesn't work any more ( the pupils go outside the eyeballs) but my eyes do disappear when they go outside the body. I'm sorry I've been quite vague haven't I! Basically how can I get my eye mask to work while still having the whole body mask work? It's a total noob question I know but I've been stuck on this for ages and i haven't been able to fix it. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thankyou!!

Think of nested groups like this:

Code: Select all

group 1
- mask 1
- group 2
- - mask 2

You must make a render to check if masks are working well. A mask inside another mask is not well showed in the preview.
