Question

Is there a way to make 2d eyes in a 3d character that is able to move the pupils with clipping mask in the sclera? I want it so i don't make alot of textures with the eyes looking at different directions, with different expressions, and also being able to choose the eye color in game
Can i do the same with the other facial features like nose and mouth?
Is this feature not very consuming for a phone game?

Example:

The eyes in the game are animated like that, the iris clip mask throught the white part of the eye freely so it can see in any direction

You could probably make something work if you had a separate material for each part of the face you wanted to animate, and used a shader to drive them.

They aren’t really that hard, just different. You might be interested in this, for example.

Shaders take a bit of getting used to, but you can do a lot with them.
