I would like to make a background that is flat plane with a texture and not see the skybox. I still would like to have the skybox effect the scene though. I’ve started my project with the starter kit model view and tried parenting a plane to the camera. That didn’t work. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

If you want the model to rotate instead of the camera, this might more applicable? http://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/rotating-objects-with-mouse/
That said, parenting the plane to the camera should work. Do you have a link to the project?
