Can't use just use the existing 3D view by internally shutting off distributed rendering for that view, which will cause the geometry to be delivered to the client?

My situation is that I have 1. large-distributed datasets as sources 2. pipelines which extract very small subsets of the data from #1 3. several vtkView subclasses which do 3-d rendering/interaction of the subsets from #2 in a non-parallel way, and 4. clients which will be run on machines without decent 3-D rendering hardware. I would like to create new pqView classes that collect data from the distributed pvservers to the rank 0 process, do the rendering on the rank 0 pvserver process (using the serial vtkViews), and use ParaView's remote image delivery mechanism to present the images to the client. Are there existing views that do this? Is the view the place where all of this should be performed or are there other places where the data aggregation should take place? I see that some of the OverView plugins are client-side views but really what I'm looking for is rendering on the rank 0 pvserver process, not the client.
