I am attempting to create a mesh with layered textures that follow 
different uv vectors.  Is it possible to define a mesh with more than 
one set of uv vectors?  Or use separate lists of uv vectors in a layered 
texture?

mesh2 implementation of POV-Ray does not support this feature.
I also do not know any other 3d engine supporting this.

Solution shouldbe easy: 
use 2 meshes with different uv vertices
or
use 1 mesh but play with layered textures#

Depends what you mean by "3d engine".  Such an effect is extremely easy 
in OpenGL (and I would assume Direct3D), so 3D Engines probably do 
support it.

However, I need the textures to follow different UV coordinates on the 
same mesh.  Sure I can layer textures on one mesh, but they are using 
the same UVs.  I thought about creating a second mesh with the different 
  UVs and scaling it slightly larger and giving it a transparent 
texture, but this won't work if my mesh isn't convex (the two may 
intersect).
