Hi JDexter, I posted a message this morning but I guess it didn't make it through so here goes again. The technique for transmaps worked great on the head and I think I figured a way to map the eyes. In the shader for the eye there is four parts; pupils,eyeballs,eyewhites,and irises

If I go to the eyeballs parametric mapping and, in the multi channel change the color to value=0 and the transparency to 100 the eyes seem to render properly

Thanks for all your help
