Safe Power node

Access: Nodes > Math > Safe Power

Raises Base to the power of Exponent. Handles negative bases without producing NaN. Helpful for metallic specular falloffs and signed displacement maps.

Base Input Exponent Input Output
0.5, 0.5, 0.5 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 0.25, 0.25, 0.25
2.0, 2.0, 2.0 3.0, 3.0, 3.0 8.0, 8.0, 8.0
-0.5, -0.5, -0.5 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 -0.25, -0.25, -0.25 (preserves negative sign safely)

Safe Power node inputs

Base

The base value to be exponentiated.

Exponent The exponent power to apply.

Safe Power node outputs

Output

The base raised to the exponent power while safely preserving the base's original sign.
