This is the second time I point someone towards the falloff map today in this forum. Just plug a falloff map into the transparaancy slot and use perpendicular/parallel mode compared to the camera Z axis. What you do is set the perpendicular color to transparant whatever defines that best and the other color to non transparent, but you knew that I bet.

For the other effects you could plug another map into the color map in environment mode maybe or just use a purple background and reflect that of the surfaces with a bumpmap set to a quite big size. Good luck, I hope this helps.

edit:it just came to my mind that you could use a gradient ramp for the purple effect, where you specify towards camera to be purple and perpendicular to be purple also and the rest black.
