I think I know what Milla means--some Vue images are very grainy overall, not just in the shadows or in misty areas. This concerned me too, since I'm planning on learning Vue this summer. But many other Vue scenes aren't grainy at all, and I'd always wondered about that myself. I'm writing down the guidelines mentioned above to use when I begin working in the program, since I want to avoid the grainy look in most of the things I'm planning to do...Thank you all for posting them here where I'd see them (no time to browse the Vue forum at present) :)
