Here is a snippet that creates a Sphere rather than using a model:
BranchGroup bgGeometry = new BranchGroup();
Appearance App = new Appearance();
try {
Texture tex = new TextureLoader(new java.net.URL(YOUR_BACKGROUND_IMAGE),
this).getTexture();
App.setTexture(tex);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Sphere outerWorld = new Sphere( 1.0f, Primitive.GENERATE_TEXTURE_COORDS |
Primitive.GENERATE_NORMALS_INWARD, App);
bgGeometry.addChild(outerWorld);
Background bg = new Background();
bg.setApplicationBounds(bounds);
bg.setGeometry(bgGeometry);
objRoot.addChild(bg);

that model is simply a cube, with the normals facing in, then the texture
applied, the eight vertecies are
-0.7 -0.7 -0.7
-0.7 0.7 -0.7
0.7 0.7 -0.7
0.7 -0.7 -0.7
-0.7 -0.7 0.7

0.7 0.7 0.7
0.7 -0.7 0.7
