			Hi Jason, 
 
A rendering plugin is usually used to perform custom drawing operations.  You could precalculate the 3d positions in python and store them in a list, without using a plug-in.  If you are doing some extensive calculations, then you could perform the calculations in C/C++ and then create a python wrapper for them. If you would like to try this then I could send you a template for creating python plugins.
