This is what masking is for. In your example you would mask everything except for the eye (it might be faster to mask just the eye and then invert the mask). http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/3d-modeling/modeling-basics/masking/
Hello, So I'm custom editing a mask for scratched metal on the actual layer mask (not with the DynaMask Editor) as it's much easier to see quick results and how the material will show through the mask this way.

Is there a way to load an alpha mask into World Machine and run that like a mask, similar to the Layout Generator? Say I want an island in the shape of an "S", make a mask in PS and then bring it into WM, use that set the limits on an effect.

When I drag a smart mask to my layers panel it overrides whatever masks I have in place and applies whatever effect it creates onto everything below the layer. I…
Sounds like you'd want to just mask by cavity. Open the Tool > Masking palette and play with the masking options, so the cracks get masked off and you can just paint without painting the masked cracks.
