The OnResize method should cope with proper viewports. However, your camera's aspect ratio won't fit the screen's aspect ratio anymore. This will lead to stretching, you need to adapt your camera to the new screen dimensions.

Code: Select all

f32 ratio = Width / Height;
camera->setAspectRatio( ratio );

If I am only using Irrlicht, where can I capture this Resize event?

Good question, there's currently no way to do this so you'd have to check each loop. We should have all kinds of events for the device though. You can request new features on the request tracker
