can you use 3 or more UV sets

Question

So far it seems UNITY reserves UV1 for the main texture, and UV2 for its lightmap. I would like to create a UV3 as like a grim map and so on. I can set it up in my 3d program. But Im wondering how to access this in UNITY.

I found out it is possible by editing the shader, you can tell it to use 3 or more UV sets by adding adding the following to the shader:

 struct Input {
 float2 uv_MainTex: Texcoord0;  // use UV set 1
 float2 uv_DetailTex: Texcoord2; // use UV set 3
 float2 uv_DecalTex: Texcoord3; // use uv set 4

};

if you want to use uv set 5 and so on, use Texcoord4 and up.

Then when your shader is defining how it displays each texture map, make sure your tex2d() function is applying the right texture coordinates.

 fixed4 tex = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex);
 fixed4 dtl = tex2D(_DetailTex, IN.uv_DetailTex);
 fixed4 dcl = tex2D(_DecalTex, IN.uv_DecalTex);

Also remember to leave UV set 2 alone if you plan on lightmapping

This would not work yet; there's no way to actually have a mesh with more than 2 UV sets in Unity (in Unity 4.2 or earlier at least).

Unity supports two UVs per mesh.
