How can I create a 3D object of a cable or wire a long path

[ZivoDesign]

Hello

I'm looking for a way to create a shape that is made from a curved path drawn in illustrator.
the path should than became rounded like a pipe or wire, something long rounded and curved

like for example, if I want to make the metal handle of this bucket, how can I create a rounded metal piece that curves according to a path from illustrator?

Hi you can make wire using pentool then applying silver gradient to it....Regards

PS is not a 3D modeling program. If itz realyl needs to be 3D you need to try your luck elsewhere. Otherewise, depending on the view angle of course, this could be faked using gradients and layer styles as alredy suggested.
