[MacOS] NaN value appears in a shader when using the EmissionTint parameter property that is not properly initialized

-

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the “user’s attached project”
2. Open “SampleScene”
3. Observe the “Cube” GameObject through the Game view

Expected result: The GameObject is colored in beige, brown, and blue details
Actual result: The GameObject is colored white

Reproducible with versions: 2021.3.53f1, 2022.3.63f1, 6000.0.51f1, 6000.1.8f1, 6000.2.0b7
Couldn’t test with versions: 2022.1.0b1 (due to the material being missing from the GameObject)

Reproducible on: macOS 15.5 (M1 Max)
Not reproducible on: Windows 10

Notes:
- Also reproducible in Standalone Player
- The ShaderGraph appears to determine that the shader is not using the EmissionTint parameter. As a result, it does not set up this property during the draw call. However, on macOS, the shader seems to use the EmissionTint parameter, but the property is not properly initialized. This leads to a NaN (Not a Number) value in the shader, causing the rendering issue.

  1. Resolution Note:

    We don't aggressively optimize our nodes to prevent unintended performance costs. However, not all mathematical operations behave the same across all platforms under all circumstances. Compiler and fastmath optimizations as well as differently handling for undefined behavior can mean different results. Both the Mac and Windows results in the final shader are likely not doing what you want.

    In the case provided, I believe the core issue is that the base input for the Power node (parameter A), must not be 0.

    You can sanitize the value by using Maximum or Clamp to keep the value above 0 (ie. 0.0001), or you can use the Comparison and Branch node to skip the operations.
