You would have to provide all the movement yourself and I think that that is the wrong way to make Literati.
They usually look Artificial to me. I like some sharp kinks which usually only come with breaks or trunk chops, and the resultant direction changes to make a convincing Literati

Hi Ken

Thanks for your input.

I guess that eliminates a Literati style from the mix
