hi, there seems to be a little problem with java3D 1.2 FCS in the Background class and the associated geometry: When running the Background demo and moving the camera away from the blocks, the blocks disappear behind the background. The background geometry is not at infinity. I found bug reports at Java Developper Connection, this seems to be a problem in the 1.2 version of Java3d, where the projection matrix to infinity for the background is wrong (bug number 4309059 and 4190827, i think).
