First of all, I apologise if this is posted in the wrong section, I am just a bit unsure as to where to post it.

I am wondering how to go about having animated textures within an animation.

If anyone has played Animal Crossing or some other Nintendo type game, they dont really model the eyes but have a basic head shape with a texture on it and if you play the game etc you will notice the eyes blink and change to different emotions and stuff..

Can this be done in Maya?

Many thanks in advance...
