I don't quite exactly get what you're asking, but if you want to render from an external loop, its not going to work well. All your rendering needs to be done in the same loop to ensure you render in the correct order and every frame.
Now if you want to use the timer to modify how stuff is rendered, but not actually render, that is totally fine.
