Congrats, man. Really cool. =D> =D> =D>
A question: Why is diffuse mode + solid = blue rt texture?

because your opacity is more that 1, I could clamp this vlaue to 0..1 but over values can produce intersting effect like your example :)

I see. Thanks. But how to make it work in diffuse mode without maxxing out the opacity value?

add a diffuse map, play with light backcolors or orientation (shadows on mesh are not diffused)

nikitos75 check your mp.

Skinnytorus yeaaaah :p it is really near of the water fx technique, I will create a mod fx operator for waterplane reflection shader, like here for refract

Yep. Can't wait, man! :)
Just a side idea: basing on this technique another cool modFX can be created: ModDistortion. What do you think of that?
Edit: It's basically the same effect, but with Tex2d inputs.

problem is that fx require special uv coordinates to project correctly the background scene to the mesh. tex2d does not provide this projected uv, result is bad.
and It behave already a bit like a distortion no ? what should be the difference ?

Yes, it does. My idea is to create a uv-mapped distorted channel. Look at these example stacks.
