Methods, data processing systems and computer program products for automatically generating a display of an illuminated physical object on a video display unit of a data processing system are described. Pixels of a predefined model ( 8 ) of the object are selected. For each selected pixel (BP) a first light intensity (LI_BP<SUB>-</SUB> 1 ) of the pixel (BP) resulting from a first illumination of the object and a second light intensity (LI_BP<SUB>-</SUB> 2 ) resulting from a second illumination of the object are calculated. The two light intensities (LI_BP<SUB>-</SUB> 1, LI_BP<SUB>-</SUB> 2 ) are combined to yield a total light intensity (LI_BP_tot), which is transformed into an input signal (ES_BP) for the pixel (BP) processable by the video display unit. Using the pixels and their input signals, the display ( 9 ) of the object is generated, transmitted to the video display unit and displayed on the latter.
