Can we create Normals or any other attribute using vex and why does the shading of my sphere changes just by adding normals? What if i want to add normals without affecting shading quality of my sphere?
Yes you can use vex to create attributes. If your sphere did not have N attribute before, then whatever you've seen previously was controlled by Display options (press D in the viewport) > Geometry > Normals > Cusp Angle (60 by default). Those are not real normals, those are just for viewport shading whenever you don't have N attribute. If you did have normals previously (imported geometry, or created some with normals), you don't need to write new normals if you are happy with what you see.
Mantra usually presumes that no normals means 60 degree cusp angle, but it's not safe to not have normals for various reasons - normal maps and displacement to name a couple. Other render engines will just render messed up results, since they don't have those cusp angle assumptions. Always do have normals.

it makes it very clear ! Thank You !
Super helpful!!!!!!!!
thanks, I am studying these attributes, in this way it is very understandable.
Awesome i love the tutorial
Super Awesome
Thank you!!!

@@AriseWorks So basically it means having normals or not doesn't affect my render quality, its just a viewport thing?

@@AriseWorks ok thanks i get it normals are for smoothing edge shading .
