Hmmm, thanks for your input. I seem to have all those elements, from what i understand that is what i was essentially doing in image 1,2. My main problem is that the eyeball mesh and the pupil mesh never seem to unite. The pupil always feels as if its toggling on the eyeball. I was hoping I could actually constrain the surfaces of each object, not just tangency of the bones. I guess I will have to create a workaround. Once again thanks for feedback.
