Stay resident rendering will be the underlying technology to allow that type of system to work, and them implementation in specific Modules as possible. I know that Maya can do it, but I'm not sure about Max or other products.

3ds can do too
I know Renderpal and some other manager support it already
"backburner" the inbuild 3ds render manager do it too
instead of 3dsmaxcmd.exe that apps. call 3dsmax.exe directly (but i not know how)

Cool. I'll do more research to implement for Max as well as Maya. If anyone else knows of other tools that can do this, or has any specific details about how to accomplish, please contact me.
Thanks
