You'd have to be a lot more specific about the type of effect you want.

Start out as simple as possible. Collect some existing 3D backgrounds and characters and get them rendered in Daz3D, take screenshots and you can make a whole Ren'py story with just that. You don't need transparency or layers to start with.

As for fighting, the simplest way would be just to pose some characters as if they're fighting, vary the camera angle and take screenshots. Then pair up dialogue and some punch sound effects with it in Ren'py and you've got a "fight scene"

my exam finally over now i can work on my vn can u plz tell how Daz3D work to make character and charcter with background with fights

That's entirely up to your creative control.

However it's common to have one main story, but small branches off it that rejoin the main story after a minute. Then you can have a final chapter which looks at your previous choices, then gives you a different ending based on prior choices or stats.

Some examples might be having a relationship points system and you gain or lose relationship stats with a number of characters, with their later scenes changing based on the level of relationship. This doesn't have to change the overall story, but could have some impact on different events or have it split off right at the end with possible endings.

Or you could have good/evil choices and you gain or lose karma points, and at various points in the game, other characters react differently to you or your karma causes you to act in certain ways, with both good and evil possible endings. The main story doesn't need "routes" to make this work, so it's a lot less work to make something like this a reality.

Do U Every VN Need Route

No, you use any 3D engine to create the art, then import the images into Ren'py.

Basically any game or engine that lets you make characters and pose them, you can use to make the characters.

The reason I said AI isn't that great is because it's hard to maintain the same character with them, and it's hard to control to get usable assets. Like a character but without a background.

Look up one called Daz3D, it seems to be popular with Ren'py creators.

I Ask That Questions Ok For My Story I Use Music and U Say "As for using AI to generate art. That's good for some purposes but it's no replacement for actual art or a 3D character creation program" That Means We Can Create Character in Ren Py I Dont How I Can Create Character and If I Want To Create Character Fight With Background So Then What I Do

Had someone ask some Ren'py questions on my profile

I Download RenPy and I Know Basic of Python ... I Don't Know How To Voiceover in Female Characters So Can I Just Write Dialogue and Use Music ... (other questions about AI art)

I wouldn't worry about either music or voices on a first pass. Or what the art looks like for that matter.

It's very fast to make changes if you're only working with a text script, so you want to "prototype" your story without getting bogged down in generating art, audio and music.

Start with an overview of your story, you might want to read guides on screenwriting / breaking down story beats. Break the story into sections or chapters where something important happens to mark the end of the chapter. I wouldn't even touch Ren'py at this point, this is just planning.

Then, take the first chapter and write it up as a Ren'py text script and play through it. Only use 'placeholder' art for now. Then make any changes you need until the story is perfect enough for you.

it's only after this i would start listing the art images needed and audio etc. the goal should be that you're not making ANY script changes at this point, just going through the motions of creating the assets you need.

As for using AI to generate art. That's good for some purposes but it's no replacement for actual art or a 3D character creation program.

I tryed out this software on Linux...Liked it.Though,are there any kind of default photos or character designs which we could use to create novels without photoshop?
